Make Cake
1 . Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans; line with parchment paper. 2. Warm butter and unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl set over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down sides with a rubber spatula until melted, about 5 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. 3. Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. 4 . In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla; stir in melted chocolate. Add to flour mixture; beat with an electric mixer at low speed 1 minute. Increase speed to high; beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Divide between prepared pans. 5 . Bake until a toothpick inserted near centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Loosen cake edges from pan, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Make Whipped Ganache and Glaze
6 . Put 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate in a large heat-safe bowl. Bring 3/4 cup cream just to a boil in a saucepan; pour over chocolate. Let stand without stirring 2 minutes, then stir until chocolate is melted. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. 7. Add 1 cup cream to chocolate mixture. Set bowl over a larger bowl filled halfway with ice water and whisk frequently until cooled to room temperature and thickened to the consistency of frosting, 5 to 7 minutes. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. 8 . Place 1 cooled cake layer on a cake plate; spread 1 cup whipped ganache over top of layer. Top with second cake layer and use remaining whipped ganache to very lightly frost entire cake to create a smooth crumb coating. Chill cake 30 minutes. 9 . Meanwhile, put remaining 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate in a small bowl. Heat remaining 3/4 cup cream just to boiling; pour over chocolate. Let stand without stirring for 2 minutes, then stir until chocolate is melted. Let cool 25 minutes or until mixture is thickened but pourable and an instant-read thermometer registers 80°F. 1 0 . Pour glaze over cake, gently smoothing with an offset spatula and letting glaze run over edge and drip down sides. Let stand until set, about 1 hour. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and flaky salt.

Yes, please! Juicy, fiber-rich pomegranate seeds offer a bright flavor contrast to this cake, not to mention an antioxidant boost. Dark chocolate and cocoa are high in flavanols shown to fight cardiovascular disease. And polyphenols in pomegranate are linked with reduced inflammation and LDL cholesterol.

Mole (MOH-lay) is a Mexican sauce made with dried chiles, nuts, seasonings, and (often) Mexican chocolate, which has a grainy texture from ground cocoa beans and an undercurrent of cinnamon. The rich, complex sauce isn’t sweet, per se, but the chocolate adds depth. Look for Mexican chocolate (also used to make hot chocolate drinks) at Latin and specialty markets.
“I love this recipe; it’s the closest I’ve seen to real, traditional mole. There are many variations you can make. I used pumpkin seeds instead of almonds, and added cloves and peppercorns when puréeing the ingredients.”
