    3/4 c  Sugar
  2 1/4 c  Heaping cups (roughly 1/2lb
           -unshelled chestnuts, peeled
           -and put through food mill)
      2 tb Dark rum
      1 c  Whole, shelled almonds,
           -blanched, peeled, and
           -put through food mill
      5    Egg whites
           Unsalted butter
           flour

--------------------------chocolate WHIPPED CREAM--------------------------
      3 oz Semisweet chocolate
      1 c  Heavy cream, whipped

-------------------------------APRICOT GLAZE-------------------------------
      3 tb Apricot jam
      1 tb Dark rum

------------------------------chocolate ICING------------------------------
      4 oz Semisweet chocolate
      6 tb Unsalted butter
 
  Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
  Beat yolks and sugar until very light and fluffy. This will take
  several minutes even with an electric beater. The end product should
  have an off-white color.
  Add chestnuts and run to yolk-sugar mixture. Blend together and add
  half the almonds.
  Beat egg whites to stiff peaks and fold into mixture. Next, fold in
  rest of almonds and pour mixture into a buttered, floured, 10x2.5
  inch spring mold.
  Place filled mold in oven. After 10 minutes, reduce heat to 325 deg F
  and bake for 35 to 50 minutes more, until cake has pulled away
  slightly from sides of mold.
  Remove from oven, let cool, unmold, and cut into two layers of equal
  thickness, leaving spring mold bottom attached to bottom of 1 layer.
  Apply chocolate whipped cream to top of bottom layer and arrange the
  other layer on top of that.
  Several hours before serving, glaze top of top layer with hot apricot
  glaze.
  When glaze has set, prepare icing. Balance cake in one hand, with hand
  under spring mold bottom, and dribble icing over top of cake. Tilt
  cake back and forth to coat evenly. Put cake on a rack and finish
  icing sides with a table knife or spatula.
  Refrigerate until icing sets.
  chocolate WHIPPED CREAM FILLING:
    Place chocolate and 3 tb water in a small pan, over low flame. Stir until
    chocolate melts into water and mixture is smooth. Start with 3 tb water
    and add more if necessary for smooth texture.
    Cool, but do not refrigerate. Combine with whipped cream.
  APRICOT GLAZE:
    Heat jam until it thickens slightly.
    Add rum off heat and apply immediately to cake.
  chocolate ICING:
    Soften chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.
    Add butter to chocolate. When butter melts, stir it into chocolate until
    mixture is smooth and all lumps have disappeared. If icing is too thick
    to pour, add more butter. If it is too loose, add a small amount of
    chocolate. It should coat the spoon heavily and drip slowly off.
