How to make a Christmas log | Bûche De Noël
A yule log or bûche de Noël is a traditional cake served during the holiday season in France and other parts of Europe. This recipe is a classic French version using a chocolate sponge roll or rolled cake and Italian buttercream (also called meringue buttercream). It can be made with any flavor of sponge and filled with ice cream whipped cream mousse ganaches fruit and more. Regardless of the variation the technique is the same: a soft sponge cake spread with a thin layer of filling gently rolled into a tempting twist and topped with decadent buttercream.
The yule log cake is designed to resemble a real log that was burned during Yule a Scandinavian winter solstice festival that dates back to pre-Christian times. As with many holidays the tradition was adopted by Christians and became a Christmas custom with the log being burned from Christmas Day through Twelfth Night on January 5.
In the Middle Ages (and possibly before) bakers began styling cakes that resembled Christmas logs. The elaborate bûche de Noël we know today is thought to have been created by Parisian pastry chefs in the late 1800s. While not many people still burn real Christmas logs the tasty cakes they inspired live on.
