Preheat oven to 350.
Butter and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.

Add eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla.
Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes. You should have a thin batter.

Cool 10 minutes; remove cakes from pans to wire racks.
Cool completely before frosting.

To prepare the frosting, place chopped chocolate in a medium mixing bowl; set aside.
Place whipping cream and butter in saucepan and cook over medium heat to just a boil.
Pour cream mixture over chocolate; whisk vigorously until chocolate is melted and smooth.
Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
Remove from fridge and stir; refrigerate about 1 more hour or until spreading consistency.
Spread about ¼ to ⅓ of frosting on one cake layer; top with the other cake layer and spread frosting on top and sides of cake.
Cut and Serve.
