  7. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to boil.
  8. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes.
  9. Stir until smooth and glossy, then add the butter and mix until incorporated.
  10. Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate. Spread ganache over the top.

  12. Allow the ganache to set before slicing.
