    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan.

    2

    Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler, then let it cool slightly.

    3

    Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the melted chocolate.

    4

    Whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gently fold into the chocolate mixture.

    5

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.

    6

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing.

    7

    Slice the cake in half horizontally. Spread the bottom layer with apricot jam. Spread apricot jam thinly over the top and sides of the cake.

    8

    Melt the dark chocolate for the coating, then stir in the heavy cream until smooth. Pour the glaze over the top and sides of the cake, spreading evenly.

    9

    Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the glaze to set. Slice and serve.
