7. Pour batter in prepared pans; bake for 25 to 30 minutes.Cool in pans on wire rack for 1 minute, then turn out onto rack and cool completely.

9. To make icing, combine corn syrup, water, and butter in saucepan; bring to rapid boil, stirring until butter is melted. Remove from heat; add chocolate. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Cool to room temperature.

10. Spread glaze between layers and on top of cake. Pour chocolate icing over all, smoothing with wet spatula. Refrigerate cake for 3 hours, or until glaze is set. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving time
