The Sacher Cake is a classic Austrian dessert made with layers of chocolate cake separated by apricot jam and coated in a chocolate glaze. This recipe uses whole wheat flour to add a nutty flavor and extra fiber to the cake, while the apricot jam adds a layer of fruity sweetness to complement the rich chocolate cake. The Sacher Cake is a bit more complicated to make than a standard chocolate cake, but the end result is worth the effort. It's an elegant dessert that's perfect for entertaining or for special occasions.

4.Beat the egg yolks with the light plain yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until fluffy and pale in color.
5.Gradually mix in the whole wheat flour until just combined.
6.In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
7.Fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
8.Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
9.Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10.Let the cake cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
11.Melt the apricot jam in a small saucepan and brush over the top of the cooled cake.
12.Melt the remaining dark chocolate with water in a double boiler or microwave and pour over the apricot jam.
