A dense and elegant mini chocolate cake, filled with a tangy apricot jam and topped with a smooth dark chocolate glaze.
A rich and fairly firm chocolate cake, leavened primarily with beaten egg whites rather than large amounts of baking powder.
The filling: a thin, tangy layer of strained apricot jam that balances the sweetness of the chocolate.
The glaze: a glossy dark chocolate coating, often made by boiling sugar syrup with chocolate to achieve a mirror-like finish.
