A dacquoise (French pronunciation: [dakwɑz]) is a dessert cake made with layers of almond and hazelnut meringue and whipped cream or buttercream.[1]
Etymology
It takes its name from the feminine form of the French word dacquois, meaning 'of Dax', a town in southwestern France. It is usually served chilled and accompanied by fruit.
History
Piping dacquoise disks for mousse cake bases
Dacquoise was invented by Japanese chef Takao Mishima, combining the Japanese sweet monaka and the European dessert meringue.[2]
A particular form of the dacquoise is the marjolaine, invented by French chef Fernand Point, which is long and rectangular and combines almond and hazelnut meringue layers with chocolate buttercream.[3]
The term dacquoise can also refer to the nut meringue layer itself.
