It is a dark, dense chocolate cake, split and sealed with tart apricot jam, and poured over with a glossy chocolate glaze that sets to a smooth, faintly crisp shell. In Vienna it is served in a slab with a mound of unsweetened whipped cream on the side, and no fork ever leaves the plate disappointed. It is a serious cake, and making a good one is one of the more satisfying afternoons a home baker can spend.</p>Sat, 30 Mar 2024 10:15:00 +0000
