My last assignment for pastry school was opera cake, and I can confirm that it's DELICIOUS. It is very rich, though, so small peices are definitely recommended. Be warned that it does take a while for assembly, but it's so worth it. I can't wait to try your recipe!
I shall try this
Q
How many hours from start to finish did it take you to make this cake??? Did it turn out like you wanted? So it was your final exam at pastry school?
Is this recipe similar to the one you made in pastry school?
Wow
Did you know your last name means cinnamon in Norwegian? Spelled kanel. Seems like a great last name for a baker!
I made opera cake for a dessert auction last year and this year. I was so happy when the cake sold for 400 dollars last year. While it didn't sell for much this year (250 dollars), I was really happy when the lady that bought my dessert told me it was one of the best cakes she's ever tasted.
i cant wait to try this cake soon!
a couple of hints:
1. chop chocolate with a serrated bread knife - its much easier and the chocolate doesnt go flying everywhere.
2. put the butter in the bottom of the bowl, then chopped chocolate on top. the butter melts first and protects the chocolate from burning in case the water gets too hot underneath.
I love the little history lessons you engrain into your videos as you're cooking. It keeps me entertained while I'm sifting/mixing my own cake 👍
It’s so weird that I’ve been obsessed with opera cakes for a month now and this pops up ! I love the recipe and it seems easy enough
Thank you
Same it's going to be a yummy challenge though. I'm going to buy new sheet pans 😆
I have been looking for a good step-by-step recipe for Opera. I instantly added this one to my food playlist.
Would love to see more recipes for elegant desserts.
Thank you!!!
My daughter had to make this for her French class in High School a couple years ago. It turned out great. Had a blast helping her with it.
That’s such a lovely memory Kevin!
this has to be the most delicious looking cake ive ever seen in my life
Thanks to you, I finally tried an Opera cake....not baking it, but eating one....I felt like I had died and gone to Heaven. I didn't eat the whole slice myself....I shared it with my boyfriend...it was WONDERFUL!
I can't go near my oven with temperatures in the 90s! I am definitely looking forward to cooker days for more of these masterpieces! WOOOHOOO
As usual, you make it look so easy John. This is definitely on my list of 'John Recipes' to make.
*All that fluffy layers and the nice ganache on top are sooo tempting 🤤*
They MELT in your mouth 😍💖💖
Please in absence of the real semisweet chocolate, can I achieve the same result with cocoa powder, butter and icing sugar
@@deescateringservices5997 as a pastry chef I can tell you that you can't get the same result and taste when change the ingredients
Hello Brian: My, My, you are truly a chef 👨🍳 in the kitchen. You talk through your cooking & teaching along as you bake or cook & do so well. How did you learn to bake & talk at the same time. I cannot do that. I run everyone OUT, OUT, of the kitchen especially when Im prepping, preparing what dishes, china, or pans I'll be using. Counting & going over everything I need for each dish, prepping & refrigerating as I prep. When I make each recipe, everything is made ahead. I bake the casseroles the same day. When they sit overnight in the refrigerator, the flavors have marinated. They taste so much better. I frost the desserts in the wee mornings. Set the table night before. Make the drinks Im serving & refrigerate till serving. All in all, I cannot talk while cooking or preparing. No one is in the kitchen but me. How did you learn to talk & have a camera staring at you.. Im so glad you can, because Im learning to break bad habits, learn to bake your marvelous delicious dishes. Thank you for becoming a chef. Its your calling. God has given you this talent to share cooking from a PRO. Happy Holidays. KW MT. 🇺🇸
I had no idea what opera cake was but I knew even before clicking on this that you would give me a mini history lesson. Thanks John❤️😊
Instead of brandy which I never have I’ve used either Bailey’s or crème de cocoa. Both compliments the coffee without overwhelming it.
I love that you add historical meaning to your recipes
Simply EXQUISITE, John, if that was even possible you've outdone yourself!!! Amazingness all over, we can see your perfectionist side clearer than day here in this recipe especially, just WOW!!
Wow! Your instructions make it easy to prepare this amazing dessert!
Oh you NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY BOY!!! 😉 how dare you temp my hubby and me with such luscious looking decadence !!! We swooned watching this video . Reminds us of Tiramisu. 😋 😋 😋
how can you make it so perfecti really love this type of videos, so quiet, so nice, everything is so relaxing, thank you so much for blessing my soul
Turned out very beautiful, thank you for the lovely recipe.
This is gorgeous! I love your kitchen!!!!!💃💃💃💃
You are by far the nicest and best baker on here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve tried this cake in the past following Chef Lenôtre recipe and I would not do it again as it took me almost the entire day to make it. But, it is worth the effort! Amazing cake!
It looks delicious!! I'm going to make it next week, thanks for all your delicious recipes 👍😋
Absolutely amazing!!!
Outstanding baking and repartee
Cozinhar é uma arte!
I really want to get into baking full time again, I had started teaching myself because it reminded me of my grandmother as she loved baking. After she passed, it's all I felt could connect me back with her memories. I really want to learn French patisserie and I discovered your channel when I was in a toxic relationship about 4 years ago, I just loved your enthusiasm for baking and how easily you made the recipes seem.
I started back with buying baking items again and I will try your recipes and buy your book as I go. Just wanted to say you got me to desire baking again. Thank you so much.
I'm a hot kitchen chef but I'd really love to just cross over to baking. I love both. Lol
I love the fact that you wrote "Opera" on it! 😅 It looks perfect! 😊
That looks so amazing. thank you for sharing this
Symphony of flavors is such an apt description!!
I had to do this for school and I loved it!
I will be married 15 years July 5 and this is my choice of celebration cake.I am using your recipe looks yummy!I am a pastry chef CIA 1990 and this is my favourite cake!Thanks Cheers from a Canadian in Connecticut!
PS Paris looked amazing my dream holiday,..... bakeries!
unbelievable so good John thank you
I love you John, i saw the recipe on the blog and i was wishing for a video, thank you so much
Beautiful and amazing made John 💜🌹🙏🌈
i love your videos they are so incredibly relaxing
I made this cake five years ago for my family, they loved it .
I actually made this cake and it was amazing. I followed this recipe and it worked out so well! It does take a bit of time as there are many things to prepare but for me, it was worth it. But, my layers weren’t as perfectly even but it still looked so pretty!!
I wanted to prepare the cake a few days ahead so I put it in the freezer and that was fine!!
For that, I prepared the cake, assembled it (without the chocolate ganache on top!!), wrapped it with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer. In the video, this would be at minute 12:39. I then took it out and let it defrost slowly in the fridge. Then I put the chocolate ganache on! This worked out well for me.
I highly recommend making this cake!!😊
Looks deliciously beautiful.
amazing great job you made a very complex cake look easy little above me still but a joy to watch Thanks John
a really elegant and pretty cake
it looks soo good all those layers very tempting 🤤

Hi John, thank you for this recipe, I tried it and it was just perfect and delicious.
What a brilliant idea for a cake 🎂 I loved it 😍 and looks delicious 😋
Great recipe! Made it in a double batch as a birthday cake. Came out perfect.❤
I made this in one of my classes in college. I know that it's chocolate and coffee heaven!
Looks amazing John! And really fancy too 😄😋
Working on this for an assignment in school there is a slight difference but I'm here for all the help I can get
Thank you 🙏 for sharing your lovely recipes. I made last week the coffee cake very delicious 😋
John you are a masterchef. I'm going to try a slice of this and if I like it I'm going to make one. Thank you
I just wanted to say thank you to Preppy Kitchen because this is the fourth video this year from you that's helping me with my pastry practical class. It's hard to understand a recipe when you can only read and not see it.
I saw this made on the Great British Baking Show and they had to make the top a mirror glaze chocolate.
Thanks for sharing your recipe. I can tell that you share the recipes from your heart :-). I tried some of your recipes before. They all came out perfectly. My family loves all. Thanks again and God bless you!
Wow!!! 😍

Sooo pretty 😍. Can't do highly involved recipes right now because I broke my ankle recently and have to roll around my kitchen in my desk chair to cook while leaning against the counter on one leg when I need to stand, but I'll be saving this one and bingeing your quick and easy recipes playlist in the meantime!
Looks incredible! 🤩 Also, I made your coconut cupcakes for a graduation party this weekend and they are absolutely amazing! 🥰
Thank you!!! That’s a recipe I love so much!!
Can you please tell me which titled video these are under? I just checked John's playlist. Under John's favorite coconut and cupcakes playlists I didn't see one under fav coconut and the only one I saw that had coconut on them in the coconut playlist was the Easter cupcake video... 🤷♀️
