Zubereitung
Pre-heat the oven at 180° C (fan) oven. Place softened butter and sugar into large mixing bowl Mix on medium speed until butter mixture is fluffy. Separate the eggs. Add the egg yolks one after the other to the butter and mix together. Melt the chocolate over a pan of hot water and let it cool down a little. Slowly add the cooled chocolate while stirring, then work in the breadcrumbs into the mixture. Beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff. As soon as the egg whites are firm, carefully add the icing sugar. Then fold in the stiff egg whites with a whisk to create the dough, which should remain as light and fluffy as possible.
Line a cake ring with baking paper and pour in the mixture. Bake at 180°C for one hour. Turn off the oven and let the cake stand for another ten minutes. Once the cake has cooled down, remove the paper. Then cut the cake horizontally through the middle, spread the apricot jam on one piece and then put the pieces back together again. Spread the top and side of the cake with a thin layer of jam.
For the icing, bring the sugar to the boil with the water in a pot. Coarsely chop the chocolate and add to the sugar mixture. Simmer while stirring constantly until the chocolate has melted. Allow the icing to cool slowly, spreading it up the side of the bowl with the back of a spoon until it reaches the desired consistency. Quickly glaze the cake with the icing. The cake tastes best served with some whipped cream.
