Remove the pan and carefully peel the parchment off the cake, then replace the original parchment and flip the cake back over onto the original parchment, and place on a wire cooling rack for the cakes to cool completely. Place a fresh sheet of parchment paper on top of the cake and quickly flip the pan over.Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Rotate the pans about halfway through bake time so they bake evenly. Bake: Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until the top of the cakes springs back when lightly touched.For this recipe there is about 18 ounces of batter for each pan. Tip: I weigh my prepared pans on a food scale before filling then again after filling with batter to ensure they each have the same amount of batter.
Using a balloon type wire whisk or large rubber spatula, gently fold about ¼ of the beaten egg whites into the almond batter to lighten the batter, and then fold in the remaining egg whites.Gradually add the granulated sugar continue beating just until stiff peaks form and the egg whites are still shiny. Egg Whites: In another large mixing bowl and using clean beaters, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.Remove the bowl from the mixer and set aside while preparing egg whites. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula so the mixture blends evenly. Sprinkle the remaining flour on top and blend into the egg mixture just until the remaining flour disappears. Sprinkle about one-half of the flour over the top of the egg mixture and with the mixer on low speed beat just until the flour disappears.Using the whisk attachment, beat on low speed about 1 minute or until blended, and then increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 5 to 7 minutes or until the mixture is very thick and drops in ribbons when the beater is lifted. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, add the sifted confectioners’ sugar, almond flour and 6 large eggs.Whew!!! Cake completed and totally worth the effort. Then the completed cake goes into the refrigerator at least one hour before making the glaze to glaze the top of the cake, then refrigerating another hour before cutting, completing the final decorations, and serving. On day 2 I make the ganache and buttercream and assemble the cake. I also make the Coffee Syrup on day one and refrigerate, along with chopping all the chocolate for the ganache and glaze. On day one I make the Almond Jaconde, wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. I recommend making the Chocolate Glaze and Royal Icing just before ready to use. Each of the components can be made up to 1 week ahead of time, except for the Almond Jaconde which should be made at the most 1 day before. For my version I decorated each individual piece so that each guest receives an elegant little masterpiece.Įach layer of this cake is easy to make but you’ll want to plan ahead because it takes time to make all the components, along with assembling the layers, along with refrigeration time. Traditional Opera Cake is decorated with its name written in glaze or royal icing across the top and finished with a piece of shimmering edible gold leaf.
It is a stunning Almond Jaconde cake soaked with coffee syrup and layered with coffee buttercream, chocolate ganache, and chocolate glaze.
The gateau de l’Opera Cake originates from the patisseries of Paris.
