Yule log, but make it easy 🪵❄️ This chocolate sponge roll with a cream center and a bark made of chocolate frosting is the Christmas dessert nobody believes you made at home.
Be honest, would you eat the "bark" first or save it for last? 😂 Comment "LOG" and I'll send you this recipe again if you lose it, send it to the friend who always brings dessert, and share a photo of your own log with me below!
On the shopping list:
🥚 3 eggs
🍬 85 g sugar
🌾 85 g plain flour
🍫 2 tbsp cocoa powder
✨ 1/2 tsp baking powder
🥛 1 cup whipped cream (sweetened, with a little vanilla)
🧈 100 g soft butter, 1 cup icing sugar and 3 tbsp cocoa for the frosting
Quick method:
• Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale, thick and tripled in volume.
• Sift in the flour, cocoa and baking powder, then fold gently.
• Spread on a lined tray, bake at 200°C (400°F) for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Flip, peel, roll up in parchment while warm and let it cool.
• Unroll, spread with whipped cream, roll again.
• Beat the butter, icing sugar and cocoa, cover the log and drag a fork down it for bark.
• Dust with icing sugar and slice!
