Watch the video for this recipe: Opera Cake is a rich French dessert, that uses one of the most loved flavor combinations, chocolate and coffee. The cake is consisting of layers of almond sponge cake soaked in coffee syrup, filled with coffee buttercream and chocolate ganache and topped with chocolate glaze.
Over mixing the opera cake batter will cause it to lose its volume. Bake the cake – in a 21 x 15 inch rimmed baking shee t in the oven as instructed in the recipe card below. Beat the COLD heavy cream in the beater bowl at high speed while gradually adding the instant espresso and sugar.
Then evenly coat the opera cake with the chocolate ganache. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Once your ganache is made (scroll to printable recipe card for details), you’ll want to strain it through a mesh sieve to catch and pieces of chocolate that may have not fully melted.
Is opera cake Tiramisu? Tiramisu is also a cake that consists of coffee and cream, but it is very different since its origin is Italian and it is often made with ladyfingers instead. It is a very delicious and indulgent cake that I happen to have a recipe video for! Can I make this cake ahead of time?
