Chocolate Ganache Cake

• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Combine buttermilk and sour cream. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk mixture, beating well after each addition.
2. Pour into two greased and waxed paper-lined 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350u0b0 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
3. In a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate with cream over low heat. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Transfer to a small mixing bowl; chill until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Chill until mixture achieves spreading consistency.
4. For ganache, in a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate and butter. Gradually add cream; heat until just warmed. Chill until slightly thickened.
5. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with filling. Top with remaining cake layer. Slowly pour ganache over top of cake. Refrigerate until serving.
