Oprah, also known as Opera Cake, was first created by Dalloyau, a dessert shop opened in 1890. Because of its very square shape. Because the thin layer of chocolate on its surface looks like a stage in an opera house, and the gold foil decorated on the cake looks like Garnier leaves (the name of the famous opera house in Paris), it got the name of this image.

Opera Cake Oprah —— The raw material of Opera Cake almond sponge cake;

Almond flour100g, low flour 30g, powdered sugar100g, 3 whole eggs, protein100g (about 3 eggs' protein), 20g butter and 20g sugar.

Baking: 200 degrees for about 10 minutes. Practice:

1, almond powder+low powder+sugar powder are mixed evenly;

2, sieving the mixed almond sugar powder twice;

3. Add a whole egg and mix well;

4. Add the remaining whole eggs in several times and stir until the egg liquid turns white;

5. Melt the butter in water or heat it in a microwave oven, add a little almond egg paste and stir well;

6. Take three eggs and separate the protein from the yolk for later use;

7. Separate the egg yolk for later use, take about100g of separated protein and put it in an egg beater;

8. Add white sugar in three times, and send the protein to foam hard;

9. Pour it into the mold and smooth it with a scraper to shake out bubbles;

10, put it in the middle layer of the preheated oven for about 10 minutes;

1 1, after the test, cool and demould. Height about 1cm thickness;

12, etc. Divide 4 pieces of cake.

Tips:

1, the cake mold I used was 18x 18cm, and the cake slices were very small.

2. This recipe can make two 18x 18cm cake slices, or you can bake a plate with Changdi 25b. My oven is relatively small, and it can't be put down when it gets bigger;

3, the thickness of the cake slice should not be too thick, otherwise the whole Oprah will be relatively high and difficult to control;

4, my cake slice is not very thin, it is best not to exceed1cm;

5. After the cake slice is cut, please cover it with a piece of cloth to avoid air drying.

Chocolate ganache raw materials:

75g of dark chocolate, 35g of whipped cream and 35g of milk.

Practice:

1, prepare raw materials, preferably dark chocolate for baking. I bought it from Auchan now, and I have chosen it for a long time and found one that works. As a result, when I bought it, I found a little dried fruit in it, and there was no obvious mark on the package, which was only seen when it melted);

2. Cut the chocolate into small pieces and put it in a heat-resistant bowl;

3. The chocolate melts in the water, or it is heated in the microwave oven until it melts (when microwave heating, be careful not to drip water);

4, milk+whipped cream boiled;

5. Slowly pour into the melted chocolate liquid;

6. Stir until there are no particles. Because there are dried fruit pieces in my chocolate, I put a plastic wrap on the rolling pin to crush the fruit pieces.

Tips:

1, black chocolate is recommended to avoid using milk chocolate on the market, which is easy to separate oil from water;

2, if you want to buy black Qiao, it is recommended to buy it without dried fruit;

3. The evenly mixed Gannaxu is slightly cooled to some solidification and reused in a thick state.

Coffee cream filling raw materials:

3 egg yolks, butter160g, sugar100g, 30g of water, coffee powder15g, and a little vanilla extract.

Practice:

1, sugar+water boiled to about 1 15 degrees;

2, the egg yolk is scattered, and the cooked sugar water is slowly injected into the egg yolk liquid, not too fast, otherwise it is easy to cook the egg yolk;

3. Beat with a blender from side to side until the egg paste turns white;

4. Add the softened butter into the yolk paste twice, and stir with electric egg beater until there are no particles. Coffee+a little warm water to make a thick coffee liquid and pour it into butter yolk paste;

5. Drop 2-3 drops of vanilla extract;

6. Mix well with electric egg beater.

Tips:

1, add a little warm water to the coffee powder as long as it can dissolve the coffee powder;

2, the cooked sugar water, when poured into the egg yolk liquid, should be as slow as possible, and it is best to add it slowly like a thin line;

3. It's best to use electric egg beater when sending egg yolks, so it's convenient and quick to whip while adding.

Make syrup raw materials before combination:

60g of sugar, 0/00g of water/kloc-(if you are worried that it is too sweet, you can add it to 200g), 0/5g of instant coffee powder/kloc-,20g of coffee wine.

Practice:

Boil sugar and water, add coffee powder and mix well, and then add coffee wine after cooling.

1, take 1 piece of cake, spread a layer of Ganesh on the baking side of the 1 piece of cake, put it in the refrigerator until it is solidified, and then turn it over. While the chocolate is washed down, the cake slices are brushed with big wine and sugar. Spread a layer of coffee cream filling;

2. Put the second piece of cake with the baking side down. At this time, you can find a gasket and gently press the cake layer to make it more compact. Brush enough wine and sugar on the second piece of cake and apply a layer of Ganesh. Then, by analogy, the third piece is brushed with wine and sugar and coated with a layer of coffee cream stuffing. Put the fourth piece of cake, brush the wine and sugar, and spread the coffee cream filling (I lost this step, sweated, and directly drenched the chocolate mirror).

Raw materials for making chocolate mirrors:

Dark chocolate 100 g, 20 g butter melted (or replaced with corn oil in equal amount).

3, chocolate water or microwave oven melting+melted butter and mix well;

4. pour on the assembled cake;

5. The cake drenched with chocolate liquid is refrigerated in the refrigerator until it is solidified;

6. Take out the refrigerated cake and cut off the surrounding four sides.

Tips:

1, daub on the bottom layer of chocolate liquid, you can use Ganesh. It can also be melted and smeared with pure dark chocolate;

2. When brushing syrup on the cake slices, you can brush as much as possible, and it is better to gently hold down the cake slices with your fingers if there is liquid overflow;

3. Cut a beautiful section with a knife. Before cutting, you can put the knife on the furnace hole for a little heating. When cutting, you should do everything to the end, and don't rub it back and forth. Dry it with a rag after cutting, and then repeat the previous operation;

4. Every time you apply a layer of Ganesh or cream stuffing, you can put it in the refrigerator and continue;

5. Because my Gannaxu contains broken fruit, it will be unsightly and grainy to make noodles. Therefore, a chocolate mirror is made. If Gannaxu uses pure black chocolate without particles, Gannaxu can completely replace the mirror, which saves a lot of trouble.
