In a food processor, blend together all cake ingredients for 1 minute or until nuts are very finely ground.

Spread top evenly with warmed apricot jam and with a teaspoon, swirl top with warm chocolate glaze, allowing some of the jam to show. Allow chocolate to set at room temperature, about 1 hour. Serves 12.
