Christmas Yule Log Cake / Buche De Noel Christmas Yule Log Cake / Buche De Noel
#CookClickLast year during Christmas I planned something different something exceptional other than baking just an ordinary fruit cake . I planned making yule log cake which is originally a French recipe but I gave it a twist and here is the result ! It is essentially made of two sponge cakes one vanilla and the other chocolate . But I gave it a lot more effort to bring in the charm of an alpine region . How about thinking of a forest , a log is laid back there , there's a vine and wild berries over it , some orchids and mushrooms and obviously a pine or a Christmas tree ! All covered under a layer of snow ! I first imagined the whole scene then made it.

Buche de Noel for Christmas Buche de Noel for Christmas
The recipe I always use is difficult to follow, so I modified the recipe for a beginner level baking class.When you spread the batter evenly in the baking pan, try not to stir too much as it will make the cake less fluffy.You might find it takes time to whip the chocolate cream. However if you over whip, the cream hardens. So once the cream becomes an easy-to-spread consistency, it is okay. Decorate roughly, not neatly. it will look more natural. Recipe by handmadecafe

Buche de Noel Buche de Noel
This is the authentic cake recipe that has been passed down for generations in my family. It was made every year on Christmas Eve and is incredibly rich and delicious! The recipe includes the old fashioned way of making butter cream, but it can be simplified by using other butter cream recipes that use confectioners sugar (also posted). You can also make meringue mushrooms or use some of the cake to make knots to go on the outside of the log!

Chocolate Chiffon Cake Bûche de Noël Chocolate Chiffon Cake Bûche de Noël
If you want a chiffon cake that doesn't need layers or syrup to brush on, perhaps this recipe is perfect during the busy Christmas season.For the chocolate cookie: 90g unsalted butter, 60g powdered sugar, one egg yolk, 165g cake flour, 15g cocoa; about 1/5 of the batter takes 13 minutes to bake at 180°C (355 Fahrenheit). You can also use up all of the chocolate cream instead of leaving leftovers and turn it into blended cream if you like. For 17 cm [6.7 in] chiffon mold. Recipe by flan* -
Christmas Tree Cake Christmas Tree Cake
I thought of this so that I could brighten up the table at a Christmas party. You can cut it into enough pieces for everyone, or everyone can eat it with a spoons... It's a very convenient cake.*First decide if you will be able to fit a cake of this height in the refrigerator for cooling. Putting the leftover ingredients into a glass container is a cute idea. For the Chiffon Spongecake, I used "Yosshii's" recipe "Chocolat Blanc Noel". I left out the chocolate... And added 3 eggs, 60 g granulated sugar, 60 g cake flour, 15 g butter, and 20 ml milk to make it a very moist and delicious spongecake. Recipe by Ranpuai -
