Opera Cake #TheCakeSliceBakers

When I first read this recipe, I instantly thought Tiramisu! I love Tiramisu! This cake reminds me of it, although not exactly the same. This Opera Cake cake has layers of sponge cake made with almond, flour, eggs, sugar, and vanilla.

Sandwiched between layers of filling made with mascarpone cheese, coffee liqueur, espresso, chocolate, and sweetened whipped cream. Devine! The sponge cake is also soaked in a espresso-coffee liquor syrup. Heavenly!

This is one delicious cake! Absolutely worth every calorie! I’m really glad the Cake Slice Bakers are baking from this book!

Each month The Cake Slice Bakers are offered a selection of cakes from the current book we are baking through. This year it is The European Cake Cookbook by Tatyana Nesteruk. We each choose one cake to bake, and then on the 20th - never before - we all post about our cake on our blogs. There are a few rules that we follow, but the most important ones are to have fun and enjoy baking & eating cakes! Follow our Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest pages where you can find all of our cakes, as well as inspiration for many other cakes. You can also click on the thumbnail pictures below to take you to each of our cakes. If you have a blog and are interested in joining The Cake Slice Bakers and baking along with us, please send an email to thecakeslicebakers at gmail dot com for more details. The Cake Slice Bakers also have a new Facebook group called The Cake Slice Bakers and Friends. This group is perfect for those who do not have a blog but want to join in the fun and bake through this book.
