In double boiler, place the 3 oz. unsweetened chocolate, molasses, oil and butter. Stir over low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350. In mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt and pepper. In small bowl, beat eggs with whisk until foamy. Add buttermilk and vanilla. Make well in center of dry ingredients and pour in buttermilk-egg mixture. Stir to combine. Add chocolate mixture. Beat with wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth.

Set cake on rack and remove spring form sides. Prepare bittersweet glaze and pour over warm cake, allowing glaze to drip down sides. You also can spread glaze with knife, if you like. Cool on rack to set glaze until serving time.
