For the cake batter: beat the butter (150 g) with half of the sugar (75 g) until creamy. Add the egg yolks, melted chocolate (150 g), and vanilla extract. Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar (75 g) to form a firm meringue and add the previous mixture, along with the sifted flour mixed with cornstarch and milk. Grease and flour a round mold and bake the cake for 1 hour or 1 and 1/4 hours. Cool it, unmold it, and slice it in half horizontally. Spread with apricot jam and assemble it again. For the chocolate glaze: boil the water with 200 g of sugar until thickened. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chopped into pieces along with the butter (1 teaspoon). Stir and when it starts to thicken, cover the cake.
