Cream unsalted butter and icing sugar together until fluffy.

Gradually add egg yolk to the butter mixture until fully incorporated.

Melt dark chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute and let it cool before adding to the mixture.

Whisk the melted chocolate into the butter and egg yolk mixture, or cut and fold it in.

Prepare a meringue by whisking egg white with a little salt, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.

Fold the meringue into the chocolate mixture gently.

Add all-purpose flour last to avoid overworking the gluten, and cut and fold until combined.

Prepare the cake pan and preheat the oven to 350°F.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until done.

Once baked, cut the cake in half horizontally to create two layers.

Melt apricot jam in the microwave for 1 minute and whisk until smooth.

Spread a generous amount of apricot jam on the bottom layer of the cake, ensuring no lumps remain.

Make a chocolate glaze by mixing melted chocolate with simple syrup until smooth.

Pour the chocolate glaze over the cake quickly for an even layer, allowing excess to drain off.

Let the chocolate glaze set before adding any decorations, such as raspberries and mint.
