Bring the cream to a boil, remove it from the heat and add the dark chocolate and butter. Mix well until smooth.
Cut the cake in half, horizontally and spread apricot jam in the middle of the two pieces, followed by the icing on top. Once the glaze is thickened, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
