Delicate French Opera Cake

This is an incredible, unique cake recipe that is actually a lot easier to make than it might seem. The sponge cake layers are light and delicate and it gives an airy, yet luscious feeling to the cake. The layers also make you feel as though you are eating an expensive pastry from a French bakery or a five star restaurant.

This French Opera Cake is a perfect after dinner dessert or even for any celebration such as an anniversary or a birthday. The chocolate is exquisite and the technique used to make the cake is easy to learn and could even be translated into other recipes. Coffee buttercream really adds a lush texture to the cake and makes this dessert just right for anyone who loves specialty items.

Although it takes some time to make this cake, it is well worth it. You may want to try it one day for a special occasion or even just to impress your family and friends.
