Heat the chocolates and butter in a double boiler over simmering
water, stirring frequently, until melted. Remove from the heat and
cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. about 25 minutes.

Beat the eggs in a large mixer bowl until frothy. Gradually add the
sugar and beat until mixture becomes thick and lemon-colored and
ribbon forms when the beaters are lifted, about 10 minutes. Add the
vanilla. Gradually add the chocolate mixture and beat well. Fold in
the flour and pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake 45 to 50 minutes, until the top of the cake begins to crack. Cool
completely in the pan on a wire rack, then wrap and refrigerate
overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.
Remove the sides of the pan and place on a serving plate. Sprinkle
the top with confectioners sugar. For best results, cut the cake
with a knife dipped in warm water, wiping off the knife between cuts.
