Steps:
- Make the pine nut sponge cake: Heat oven to 350°. Grease a 12" x 16 ½" baking sheet with butter and line with parchment paper. Melt butter in a 10" skillet over medium; cook until color is a deep golden brown, 6-8 minutes, and let cool. Pulse pine nuts and cake flour in a food processor until finely ground. Using an electric hand mixer, beat sugar and egg yolks in a bowl until pale yellow and thick, about 4 minutes. In a separate bowl and using clean beaters, beat whites until stiff peaks form. Fold pine nut flour, then whites and reserved brown butter, into yolk mixture; spread evenly into prepared pan. Bake, rotating once, until golden brown and cooked through, 8-10 minutes; let cool. Make the candied pine nuts: Reduce oven to 300°. Stir pine nuts, sugar, and egg white in a bowl; spread evenly on a baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, 15-20 minutes; let cool. Make the buttercream: Using an electric hand mixer, beat butter and Zirbenz until smooth and creamy; set aside. Heat sugar and ¼ cup water in a 1-qt. saucepan over medium-high until an instant-read thermometer reads 245°, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites until frothy. With the motor running on medium, slowly drizzle sugar syrup into egg whites along the side of the bowl, avoiding the whisk. Increase speed to high; beat until stiff peaks form and meringue is cool to the touch, about 5 minutes. Add reserved butter and beat on medium until smooth, about 2-3 minutes; chill until ready to use. Make the white chocolate ganache: Place chocolate in a bowl. Boil cream in a 1-quart saucepan and pour over chocolate; let sit, without stirring, for 2 minutes. Add pineapple and salt and, using a rubber spatula, stir to combine; cover and set aside until ready to use. Make the caramelized pineapple and syrup: Melt honey in a 12" skillet over medium-high until bubbly, about 3-4 minutes. Add pineapple in a single layer; cook, flipping once, until caramelized, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pineapple to a plate; set aside. Stir limoncello into honey; set syrup aside. Assemble the torte: Invert cake onto a cutting board; slice lengthwise into three 4"-wide strips. Place 1 strip of cake in center of a serving platter. Spread half the buttercream and one third of the ganache over cake. Top with another strip of cake; spread with remaining buttercream and one third of the ganache. Top with remaining ganache. Arrange caramelized pineapple over top of torte and sprinkle with candied pine nuts; chill. Drizzle with syrup before serving.

PINEAPPLE TORTE
Such a quick and easy sheet cake dessert. Our family and guests swore the taste and texture was that of a carrot cake, and yet carrots are not included in the ingredients. This dessert can be thrown together in about 5 minutes and it is so very good, which is surprising due to the few ingredients, and has such basic mixing and baking techniques. A simply perfect dessert to be enjoyed by both the experienced and inexperienced baker.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Prepare the meringue cookie batter as directed. Using a piping bag with a 1/2-inch plain tip, or using a spoon, form the meringue into three 8-inch disks on the lined baking sheets, each about 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until crisp on the outside but still moist in the center. Cool completely in the oven.
- Halve the pineapple lengthwise and cut the pieces crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Heat a very thin layer of oil in large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and add the pineapple. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until seared and golden, then flip the pieces and sear the other side. Transfer the pieces to a plate and sprinkle them lightly with salt; cool to room temperature.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form; sift the confectioners' sugar over it and whip until combined and the cream forms medium-firm peaks. Put the pastry cream in a large bowl and whisk to loosen it.
- Add about a third of the whipped cream and whisk it into the pastry cream to lighten it. Using a large spatula, add the remaining whipped cream and fold it into the pastry cream until just combined. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the cream and transfer the remainder to a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip.
- Put one meringue disk onto a serving plate and pipe a spiral of pastry cream (using a little less than half of it) over it, covering it completely but leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Blot the pineapple pieces with a paper towel and arrange half of them, fanning them in a concentric circle, over the pastry cream. Put another meringue disk on top and repeat with the remaining pastry cream and pineapple. Top with the remaining meringue disk and, using a small off set spatula, spread the reserved pastry cream in a thin even layer over the top. Sprinkle the coconut evenly over the top.
- The torte can be sliced immediately and served but is better if refrigerated for at least 1 hour and no longer than 3 hours to soften the meringue.
