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.

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.
