Step 1: Prepare Almond Dacquoise

Whisk egg whites using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add caster sugar and continue whisking to form stiff peaks. Sift almond flour and fold gently to maintain airiness. Spread evenly on a lined tray, tap lightly, and bake at 180°C for 7–8 minutes until firm yet soft to the touch. Cool and cut into 6-inch squares.
