The marjolaine cake may not get quite as much attention as the Opera or Mille-Feuille, but ask any chef who is well-versed in classical French cuisine and it’s likely they’ll start going on and on about how delicious this layered dessert is. This recipe has three main parts: the cake, the buttercreams, and the ganache.
This marjolaine recipe is featured in Season 4, Episode 7. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two 12x8in Swiss roll tins with baking parchment. For the dacquoise, tip the almonds and hazelnuts into the bowl of food processor and pulse until finely ground.
The marjolaine—made with nutty meringue, rich chocolate ganache, and vanilla and hazelnut buttercreams—was created by celebrated French chef Fernand Point. During its heyday in the 1930s, Point’s restaurant La Pyramide, located in Vienne, France, was a culinary temple for many—including famed chefs Paul Bocuse and the Troisgros brothers.
