Which dessert consists of baked layers of nut-flavoured meringue with a cream filling?

A dacquoise is a dessert cake made with layers of almond and hazelnut meringue and whipped cream or buttercream on a buttery biscuit base. It takes its name from the feminine form of the French word 'dacquois', meaning 'of Dax', a town in southwestern France. It is usually served chilled and accompanied by fruit.

The term dacquoise can also refer to the nut meringue layer itself. A particular form of the dacquoise is the marjolaine, invented by French chef Fernand Point, which is long and rectangular and combines almond and hazelnut meringue layers with chocolate buttercream.
