Stir in sifted flour, almond meal and cocoa. | 6. Stir in the chocolate mixture. | 7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for about 70 minutes. | 8. When cooked allow the cake to stand in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool. | 9. When the cake has cooled, split the cake in half. Sandwich together with the apricot jam. | 10. Return the cake to the wire rack and cover the entire cake wiith a thin layer of ganache.
