Since then, we have sampled the opera cake at a few places stateside here are a few that made an impression: Oh, the shame! (Though, to see some beautifully creative entries that did follow the rules, visit here). Though it was specified that the cake ought to be light in flavor, we felt that in our case this would be a cheat-aren't you supposed to learn the rules before you break them? While the original thought was to make the classic Opera Cake and then another variation afterward, perhaps we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into in terms of time and effort-and well, let's just say only one cake was made, and in perhaps reverse Cakespy behavior, our classic Opera Cake is decidedly non-mischievous, and in doing so we actually ended up breaking the rules. And this month, it was the Daring Bakers Challenge (a challenge dedicated to Winos & Foodies).
With multiple alternating layers of ganache, buttercream and sponge cake, it's certainly not a light dessert, but when done well, it is indeed a delicious one.
L'Opéra (Opera Cake), like its namesake, is a pinkies-out affair: deeply layered, intricate-and a huge time commitment.
