LOVE this recipe. I made it once for a party with the meringue buttercream as an opera cake, and everyone has raves about it since. I’ve also taken to using this recipe as my annual yule log. It works PERFECTLY. Wish I could share pics!

Any idea why my cake cracked after I pulled it out? It was solid after I pulled it out but when I looked at it the next day it cracked. I share a professional kitchen so someone might have moved it or done something to it but I’m not sure.

This cake is SO GOOD. Although there are several different elements to make, the instructions are super clear and easy to follow, so I didn’t find the recipe too difficult. I can’t wait to make it again for guests. Thank you so much 🙂

This is the best cake I’ve ever made! I have Celiac as well as being vegan, so baking is usually really really tough. But this one was absolutely incredible! It went so well and my family totally loved it! The whole cake was devoured in a few minutes! Thank you so much for the recipe!

Also, for any celiac people, here’s the flour combination I used:
90g chickpea flour
45g coconut flour*
45g arrowroot flour
+ the 40g almond flour from the recipe

*Side note: coconut flour is very absorptive, so make sure to add 2 tbsp to the soy milk combination

Good luck!
And thanks again for this amazing recipe!!

Oh wow! THANK YOU!
The mister has been watching Crime Scene Kitchen. When they presented this cake, he said he would really enjoy a vegan version for his birthday (tomorrow). Well, there is a French bakery in a neighboring town, but definitely not vegan. I searched the web and decided to make your version. Your instructions were great and very easy to follow. I ended up making four layers. I made the two 9×13 cakes, then cut in half and stacked them all. The amount of ganache and frosting presented in you recipe was the perfect amount to complete the cake with a good balance of all the layers and very little left over.
Not traditional, but still very excellent!

In reply to Anne. Hi Anne! Thanks so much. Completely agree - it's definitely not traditional but then neither is most vegan baking because we have to make so many adjustments! So glad you enjoyed it.
