The recipe sounds delicious! Even though it would you be your first
time baking it - and you really shouldn't - I would substitute the
apricots and the liquor with raspberries and a raspberry liquor. I am
sucker for chocolate and raspberries, and tend to think they go better
together than chocolate and apricots - but then again I am not an
apricot fan .

Good luck!

There's something about the idea of sachertorte made with apricots that
seem to conjure up "sachertorte." When I hear raspberries and cherries
and that sort of thing, I think of other types of cakes made with
chocolate, of which there seem to be plenty of. Don't our tastes run
different, for I never have liked the combination of raspberries and
chocolate, always biting into an unnamed choc/raspberry chocolate and
putting it aside - price of the box of chocolates never being a
consideration. One time many years ago, a friend of mine baked me a
cake for a going away present party. Believe it or not, it was ??
chocolate decadent?? isn't that the one made with raspberries and
chocolate -- Needless to say, I'll never forget it -- tee hee!

I'm with you, Dee. I'm not overly fond of raspberry with chocolate. I
love cherry with chocolate, but for that I want a black forest cake.
Apricot, it's got to be sachertorte.
