Chestnut Pancake Torte

This invention was inspired by an Austro-Hungarian classic made, of course, with ordinary flour. I think that the nutty sweetness of the chestnut flour is equally satisfying. The apricot filling between the layers is a classic, but it might be equally good with melted sweetened dark chocolate. This is a very rich torte, so a little goes a long way. The pancakes are fragile. Handle with care.
