How to make

STEP 1
Combine 1 1/3 cups whipping cream, 1/3 cup butter and 3 tablespoons sugar in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat; add 16 ounces bittersweet chocolate and 2 teaspoons vanilla, let stand 1 minute. Stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Let stand at room temperature 1 1/2-2 hours or until mixture is thick enough to spread.

STEP 2
Heat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 (9-inch) round cake pans. Line bottom of each pan with parchment or waxed paper, cut to fit.
-
STEP 3
Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in bowl; set aside.

STEP 4
Combine 1 3/4 cups sugar and 1/2 cup butter in bowl; beat at medium speed until well mixed. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Add 3 ounces melted chocolate and 2 teaspoons vanilla; beat until well mixed. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating at low speed after each addition until well mixed.

STEP 5
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake 28-32 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto cooling rack; remove parchment paper. Cool completely.

Combine all filling ingredients except raspberries in bowl; beat at high speed until stiff peaks form. Place 1 1/2 cups whipped cream mixture in bowl; refrigerate. Gently stir raspberries into remaining whipped cream mixture.

Cut each cake layer in half horizontally using long serrated knife. Place 1 layer, cut-side up onto cake plate. Spread 1/3 cup chocolate glaze over cake.
