Chop the chocolate. Cream 125 g soft butter, 75 g sugar, 1 packet of vanillin sugar and salt. Add the eggs and 2 tablespoons of flour one after the other and mix well. Mix remaining flour and baking powder and stir in briefly together with 5 tablespoons of cream. Fold in chocolate. Put the dough into a greased springform pan (26 cm Ø) sprinkled with breadcrumbs and smooth it down. Bake in a preheated oven (electric: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for 15-20 minutes.
Let cool down on a cake rack. For the buttercream, stir pudding powder, 5 tablespoons of milk, remaining sugar and rum flavouring until smooth. Bring the remaining milk to the boil, remove from the heat and stir in the pudding powder. Boil the pudding again for at least 1 minute while stirring. Cover hermetically with cling film. Let it cool down. Drain the apricots well on a sieve. Remove the base from the mould. Close the edge of the mould or a cake ring around the base. Heat up the jam and spread a thin layer on the base. Cover with apricots. Stir the rest of the room-warm butter until white-frothy. Stir the room-warm pudding briefly and stir it into the butter by the spoonful. Spread the cream on the apricots.
