Hmm..I have never used jaconde for an opera cake, only genoise. I always use the jaconde for the thin bands around pastries/bavarian cakes etc.

Not sure I am any help, but I could not imagine how using jaconde would be bad, actually sounds really good!

I think genoise gets used more/recommended more, but I bet another of these smart folk will chime in with more info than I know.

Good luck, sounds tasty! I have not made an opera cake in ages!

I think joconde would be the better of those two choices. I use a hazelnut biscuit (it's the way i was taught to make opera cake at the FCI and I loved it so much I stuck with it). PM me if you'd like the recipe.
