A marjolaine is the most decadent, insane cake I've ever made (or eaten), and gosh darn it was incredible! From bottom to top the layers are: chocolate genoise, dark chocolate ganache, daquoise (remember those?), crème d'or (remember that?), daquoise, praline buttercream, daquoise, stablized whipped cream, and another daquoise. Then it's iced with more praline buttercream and covered with chocolate glaze. The top is decorated by making a crosshatch pattern in the partially set glaze with the back of a knife. Chopped hazelnuts line the bottom of the long edges and a line of candied hazelnuts (always a nice decoration) finish it off. See what I mean about decadent?
