An elegant cake inspired by Austria’s classic Sacher pastry, with rich chocolate sponge layers filled with apricot jam and covered in a glossy chocolate glaze. Its deep cocoa flavor makes it a showstopping dessert for special occasions.
Beat the butter and sugar together. Add the egg yolks and melted chocolate, then sift in the all-purpose flour and mix.
Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the batter from top to bottom.
Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool.
Cut the cooled sponge cake in half. Warm and strain the apricot jam, then spread a thin layer between the halves and over the cake.
Bring the cream to a boil and pour it over the chocolate. Stir until smooth. Caution: Pour the glaze over the cake all at once in one quick motion, or it will not spread evenly.
Before pouring on the chocolate glaze, cover the cake with a thin, smooth layer of apricot jam; otherwise, the glaze will not set evenly. Allergens: contains gluten (from flour), egg and milk (butter and cream).
