Method

- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch cake pan and set aside.

- Pour batter into prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

- In a large bowl, place chopped chocolate and set aside.

- In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Pour hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a few minutes. Whisk until smooth and shiny.

- Add butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.

- Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then whisk in heavy cream until the mixture becomes lighter in color and fluffy.
