A Delightful Dacquoise...
From lemon to espresso, dacquoise are certainly on the list fanciest desserts-- not to mention some of the most challenging. For those of you who don't know what a dacquoise is, it is "a cake made with layers of nut meringue and whipped cream or buttercream." And that is what I am making today.
Today's recipe comes from here, but mine isn't exactly like that one, it's more of a spin on the recipe (including most of the same ingredients).
My dacquoise is being placed in a pan for serving, instead of standing alone like a traditional cake. Also, I am topping it with chocolate chips and chopped almonds. In addition, I put coffee inside the buttercream.
I must say, as a beginner, I am quite satisfied with the outcome. I am bringing this dacquoise to my table at a ladies tea at my church tonight. I can hardly wait!
