Ingredients
Instructions
Mix dry ingredients
Mix almond flour, buckwheat flour, and powdered sugar, then sift the mixture.
Whip egg whites
Place egg whites in a bowl and whip thoroughly with an electric hand mixer. Whip until the foam turns snowy white, then gradually add granulated sugar and dried egg white powder, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
Combine the mixture
Add the sifted dry ingredients to the whipped egg whites, fold the mixture quickly from the bottom up with a rubber spatula until evenly combined, then transfer to a piping bag and pipe into baking molds.
Bake
Dust the top with powdered sugar, place in an oven preheated to 190°C, and bake for about 20 minutes.
Prepare walnuts
Remove the skins from the walnuts, blanch them in boiling water, then drain and set aside to dry. Mix the walnuts with soft-centered candy, then stir the mixture into the whipped cream until evenly combined.
Assemble
Sandwich the walnut whipped cream filling between the freshly baked dacquoise cakes.
