Yule Log, a traditional French Christmas cake, is prepared and decorated to resemble a log. The cake’s foundation is made from a sheet of genoise that is rolled into a log shape. It is then filled and covered with a rich chocolate or mocha buttercream. The buttercream is squiggled with a fork to resemble the bark of a tree, thus adding a touch of realism to the design. The cake may also contain additional decorations, such as meringue “mushrooms,” chopped pistachio “moss,” and a sprinkling of powdered sugar to resemble snow. Yule Log is a delectable yet exceptionally rich dessert that is perfect for holiday festivities.
