This cake is hiding a secret. . . It’s one of the cakes that sunk. Lisa and I enjoyed it anyway. I had planned to take the fallen leftovers to the office on Monday, but there just wasn’t enough – it was delicious if not pretty.
The cake began with a dacquoise, a meringue dressed up with ground nuts (I used almonds) and chocolate. The dacquoise is spread in a loaf pan. Marie told us that dacqoise comes from the French town of Dax, known for it’s spa. That was especially interesting to us because Lisa’s dog is named Dax.
Unlike my other blog posts, as part of the Heavenly Cake Bakers, I don’t post recipes from this book on the Internet. One of the reasons for this baking group is to encourage readers to purchase the cookbook. That strategy worked on me! After follow the group’s baking adventures for a couple of months, I ordered a copy from Amazon because I wanted join in.

A HA! Now I’m not so bumped out about my first cake collapsing on me… you, lola and me – that is 3, I’m now curious on who else had issues with it.
But, regarless of the ugliness.. it was wonderfully delish.. right?

It sounds like it has the same issues as an angel food cake. I wonder if the weather has anything to do with it. It’s rainy and foggy here which is never good for egg whites.
