Preheat the oven to 200°C. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks, butter, icing sugar, and melted chocolate for about 3 minutes until fluffy. Stir in the flour. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and carefully mix them into the chocolate mixture. Pour into a greased and floured springform pan (approximately 22 cm in diameter). Reduce the oven temperature to 175°C and bake the cake for about 50 minutes. Once cooled, cut the cake in half, fill with apricot jam, and spread it generously all over with apricot jam. For the glaze, melt the chocolate and butter. Stir in the milk, stirring constantly, until smooth. Cover the cake with this mixture and leave to set in the refrigerator overnight.
