Gorgeous birthday cake for her husband - start cooking
Three thin biscuit cakes should be soaked in coffee syrup with rum (cognac), smeared with coffee and butter cream, coated with a double layer of dark chocolate glaze. It is most convenient to make a husband’s birthday cake in a rectangular shape. Traditionally, "Opera" is decorated with pieces of edible gold.
It successfully contrasts with dark icing and the strict classical form of the cake. We list the ingredients from which we will bake a biscuit:
- For 113 g of sweet almond kernels, powdered sugar;
- 30 g of self-rising or bread flour;
- 3 eggs at room temperature and as many egg whites;
- 13 g of white sugar;
- 17 g of butter (creamy, unsalted. It must be of good quality).
The baking sheet must have strictly defined parameters: 33 cm by 40 cm. The indicated number of ingredients is designed specifically for this size. Then the biscuit will turn out the thickness we need. The baking sheet should be lined with baking paper (along with the sides), and the oven heated to 185 degrees Celsius. This husband’s birthday cake can be baked in two ways. The first is to mix almonds with powdered sugar (the mixture should be sieved immediately through a large sieve) and beat together with the eggs for ten minutes. Then in three stages add hot melted butter. Beating for this time does not stop, do not reduce the speed. Then add flour, sugar and protein foam in portions.
The second (faster) way is to combine all the ingredients and whisk them, then add hot oil and whipped proteins. Bake the biscuit for 12 minutes, then cool and cut into three equal rectangles. Grease one of them with melted chocolate and put in the refrigerator (in order to keep the impregnation better).

Birthday (the photo shows the excellent layering of the baked dessert) does not do without an effective presentation of dessert. In order for the cake to look as presentable as possible, it must be very carefully assembled. First, make an impregnation of coffee, rum, vanilla and sugar (water and sugar should be taken in equal proportions, and flavorings to taste). For butter cream, beat 4 egg yolks and brew them with hot syrup from 110 g of sugar and a tablespoon of water. Continue to beat, adding oil (175 g) in pieces. At the end, stir in coffee extract and vanilla. To cover (ganache), melt two black chocolates with cream, milk and butter in equal proportions. Cakes should be soaked in syrup and alternately layered with cream. Cover the top with ganache and decorate with food gold.
