Traditionally, it’s also decorated with its name written on top of the chocolate glaze and finished with a piece of edible gold leaf. What is opera cake? It’s called Gâteau opéra in French, and has layers of almond sponge cake, espresso buttercream and chocolate ganache, and then covered in a chocolate glaze.
