Three thin biscuit cakes should be soaked with syrup from coffee with rum (cognac), smear with coffee-oil cream, cover with a two-layer glaze of dark chocolate. It is most convenient to make a birthday cake for the husband of a rectangular shape. Traditionally, the Opera is decorated with pieces of food gold. It successfully contrasts with dark glaze and a strict classical form of cake. Let's list the ingredients from which we will bake the biscuit:

• For 113 grams of sweet almonds kernels of 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 should be of good quality).

The baking tray must have strictly defined parameters: 33 cm by 40 cm. The specified number of ingredients is calculated exactly for this size. Then the biscuit will get the thickness we need. The baking tray should be lined with bakery paper (along with the sides), and the oven is heated to 185 degrees Celsius. This cake for the birthday of her husband can be baked in two ways. The first is mixing almonds with sugar powder (the mixture must be immediately sifted through a large sieve) and beating together with the eggs for ten minutes. Then add the hot melted butter in three steps. Beating for this time does not stop, the speed does not decrease. Then also add flour, sugar and protein foam in portions. The second (faster) way is to mix all the ingredients and whisk them, then add hot oil and whipped whites. The oven biscuit 12 minutes, then cool and cut into three equal rectangles. One of them should be smeared with melted chocolate and put into the refrigerator (in order to keep the impregnation better).
