Pour into a large pan, put plastic wrap directly on the surface, and allow to cool. Remove the milk mixture from the heat and whisk in butter and vanilla extract. (This is done by spooning some of the milk into the egg mixture to equalize temperatures without cooking the eggs.) Return all liquids to the pot and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Temper the egg mixture with the boiling milk. Add the other half of the sugar and then the eggs to the slurry and whisk to completely combine. In a small bowl whisk the 2 tablespoons of reserved milk into the cornstarch to create a slurry.

Prepare the baking pans by greasing 2 (6-inch) diameter round pans and dusting with flour. Meanwhile sift together the bread flour, the cocoa powder, and the pastry flour. Stabilize the mixture by whipping on medium speed for 15 more minutes.

Set the bowl into the hot water bath to heat the mixture to between 110 and 120 degrees F. To the eggs add sugar, salt and vanilla and combine. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, whip eggs on high speed for 5 minutes. For the cake: Heat a skillet full of water to a bare simmer.
