Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Toast the raw pistachios for 15 minutes until fragrant and golden.
  2. Chop a portion of the pistachios for decoration and set aside.
Dacquoise Layers
  1. Reduce the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C). Beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  2. Gradually add sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks are achieved. Gently fold in the chopped pistachios.
  3. Spread the pistachio meringue into prepared cake rings and bake for 1 hour until golden brown.
  4. Allow the dacquoise layers to cool completely before removing them from the rings.
Buttercream Preparation
  1. In a clean bowl, whip the egg yolks until pale. Cook sugar and water over medium heat until it reaches 240°F (115°C).
  2. Slowly whisk the syrup into the whipped yolks and then beat in the softened butter and dark rum until smooth.
Assembly
  1. Layer the cooled dacquoise discs with generous spoonfuls of buttercream, sprinkling chopped pistachios between each layer.
  2. Cover the entire cake with the remaining buttercream and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Optional: Decorate with more chopped pistachios for a delightful finishing touch.
