Bake each in a greased and floured pan, 3 pans (12 x 8 x 1 1/2-inch) throw away foil ok. Bake until cooked like a cake (do not let burn) at 350 degrees. When cooled, put the raspberry jam on one of the layers and then take another layer out of the pan and place it on the top of the raspberry jam. Then put the apricot jam on top of that layer and then place the 3rd cake on top of the apricot jam. When all 3 layers are done, place something like a large dictionary on top to keep them together for a while. Then melt the chocolate bits and cover the top. When hardened, they can be cut to size.
