Cake desserts are often associated with being overtly sweet and creamy, but this Mocha Dacquoise Cake is intended to offer a more bittersweet way to finish a meal. Consisting of baked almond meringue and rum-spiked whipped cream, the Mocha Dacquoise Cake is also infused with coffee in order to add a dynamic flavor that instantly cuts through the sweetness.
The Mocha Dacquoise Cake is topped with a dark chocolate sauce and is best paired with a strong cup of coffee of your favorite variety for a dessert that will satisfy those who don't have much of a strong sweet tooth. The mixture of textures makes it a deviation from other cake desserts out there that focus just on soft or crunchy.
