side up. Cool completely on rack.

6. Meanwhile, prepare filling. In a saucepan, mix together sugar and flour.

over medium heat; boil for 1 minute, whisking constantly. Strain through a
fine sieve into a bowl. Press plastic wrap on surface. Chill for 30
minutes.

7. Using a serrated knife, cut cake horizontally in half. Carefully remove
waxed paper. Place bottom layer on a serving plate. Spread evenly with
filling. Top with remaining cake layer.

8. To prepare glaze, in a saucepan, bring sugar, corn syrup, and water to a
boil over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved. Remove
from heat. Add chocolate; let stand for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour glaze over cake, allowing it to drip down sides. Let stand
until glaze sets.
