  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

  5. Stir in the melted chocolate and apricot juice.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

  8. Meanwhile, gently warm the apricot preserves in a small saucepan. Do not strain.
