Opera Cake
French Multi-Layer Gateau Opera
The Gâteau Opera is a true French pâtisserie classic — elegant, precise, and layered with enough chocolate and coffee flavor to make any dessert lover swoon. Built from almond joconde sponge, silky coffee buttercream, and rich dark chocolate ganache, each ultra-thin layer stacks into a beautifully defined slice that feels like it came straight from a Parisian pastry case. While it looks elaborate, this recipe breaks the process into simple, manageable steps so you can recreate the clean lines and bold flavors at home. The result is a showstopping cake that tastes every bit as luxurious as it looks.
And now Renee, I must apologize, but Dood got you: I love you.
