Melt the dark chocolate over a bain-marie for 5 minutes.
Beat the butter and powdered sugar for 4 minutes.
Add the egg yolks one by one and mix.
Beat the egg whites with the granulated sugar for 5 minutes to stiff peaks.
Fold in the melted chocolate, egg whites, and flour without deflating the batter.
Bake the cake at 170°C for 55 minutes.
Heat the apricot jam with the water for 3 minutes and spread it between the cake layers and over the top.
Melt the remaining dark chocolate and coat the cake; serve with cream so the chocolate cuts cleanly at room temperature.
💡 Tip: Warm the apricot jam before spreading so it forms a thin layer and keeps the glaze smooth.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve a thin slice with unsweetened whipped cream and plain coffee.
