Gaston Lenôtre, who lived between the years of 1920 to 2009, made a claim saying he was the one who came up with the dessert in the year 1960. The origins of these extremely tasty cake is unclear and frankly quite debatable though.
It also has a slight resemblance to the Tiramisu, except in Tiramisu we use lady finger biscuits, while in this we use sponge cake, the layers however are quite similar. As you have already probably figured out, this is a very rich and decadent cake, most suited for special occasions (or maybe even when you feel a bit fancy). These whole layers of tastiness is then covered with another layer of some more rich chocolate ganache. These almond sponge cake layers are then soaked in some rich and sweet coffee syrup, then topped or layered with a chocolate ganache and a fluffy and airy coffee buttercream. Traditionally, It is made with layers of sponge cake, usually almond sponge cake, which is also known as Jocondein in French. Opera cake, or gâteau opéra as they call it in France, is a classic French Cake.
