How to make a Yule Log | Bûche De Noël

Light and fluffy, this beautiful Yule Log, or ​​Buche de Noel, is a lovely traditional Christmas sponge cake styled to resemble a log. This dessert consists of a tender chocolate cake rolled and filled with a sweet homemade whipped cream then coated in a chocolate frosting. Decorated with meringue mushrooms, sugared cranberries, and rosemary, this is a festive and showstopping dessert!

I made two of these cakes using this recipe. Here are my thoughts (just writing this because I was looking for someone in the comments section that made it). The frosting was a little too salty for me, I made it over without the salt and it was the bees knees! Stabilize the whipped cream with some gelatin if you’re making it ahead of time so it doesn’t collapse. If you do not like dry cake try brushing it with a syrup, I think a raspberry sauce would be out of this world! I think it dried out my cake more leaving it in the tea towel over night, if you decide to make it ahead like I did you might want to wrap it in cling wrap after it cools. Mine lasted assembled in the fridge for 2 days since I stabilized the whip. Thank you for the recipe, it was a hit!

This is so cool! For anyone wondering, this type of cake is actually called a chiffon cake, which doesn’t have any leaveners and uses meringue instead. Just a little science for ya :)

Since I was 12 years old I have wanted to make one of these. I saw one for the first time in my mom's McCall's magazine. 43 years later my 15 year old niece and I will make one for the first time, on Christmas eve, at my dad's house. I believe my mother's spirit may join us in the kitchen.

I'm finally going to make this. I've made many a cake rolls but never a Buche De Noel. I've got a tip for those who might be afraid/nervous to flip the sponge onto the towel. Instead of sprinkling the powdered sugar on the towel dust it onto your sponge as soon as you take it out of the oven. Then use a big enough board (I use my extra large cutting board) with the tee towel on it and invert the sponge. Peel off your parchment paper, dust some more powdered sugar just as John did onto the sponge then get to rolling. I've always hated flipping that hot sponge onto the towel, burning my fingers and having powdered sugar flying everywhere so I decided to give this a try. Works like a charm every time 👍

i just made this for my birthday. i work for a tree removal company and a coworker had a birthday close to mine.

i didn’t do the mushrooms, used ice cream for the filling, and i made chocolate whipped cream for the outside.

i made a chainsaw to go on it though. i used my whipping cream carton and some cardboard to make it with a tin foil chain.

i loved the lighter sweetness of the whipped cream.

Your mother is a gem. Making this for your birthday is a lovely gift. I feel guilty because I never showed this to my sons so that they never got the idea for this.

[janettouchon]

I love how you went that extra step to make it a Yule log scene yet it is all still edible! Just beautiful.

I made this yesterday for my son, Lincoln's first birthday. We did a Lincoln Log birthday party theme. I hadn't found this video until I had already done a different cake recipe but didn't want to use their marcsopone filling and landed here. LOVED the instructions on how to fill and roll the cake. Loved the frosting so much and got so many compliments on the cake!

Words cannot describe how thankful I am for this video! I have such cake rolling anxiety and this was such a relief to have watched. Thank you!

I made this cake last year and it was a HIT!!! I’m making it again for this years Yule holiday. Gonna go to the store and buy my ingredients, I just wish I had 2 ovens to make the mushrooms and the cake at the same time. But oh well. I’ll make the cake first and then the mushrooms second.

What a wonderful cake! Happy holidays😍🎄
