In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

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

In a small saucepan, heat the dark chocolate and heavy cream over low heat until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar until well combined.

Pour the chocolate ganache over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.

Let the ganache set for 1 hour before serving.
