Behind the most beautiful pastries in bakery displays almost always lies the same base: the dacquoise. This almond powder meringue cake offers an irresistible contrast, a fine pearly and crispy crust, a tender and fragrant center, which forms the foundation of the success of the Royal chocolate and all layered desserts.
The good news is that it requires only three main ingredients and twenty minutes of preparation. It all depends on a firm meringue, gently incorporated powders, and a double dusting of powdered sugar that creates the famous pearling. Master it once, and the entire world of layered pastries opens up to you.
