Yule Log

Ring in the grand festivity of Christmas with this flavourful stunner.

Recipe Courtesy: Chef Sujan Mukerjee, Taj Hotels

Ingredients:

For the cake

3 eggs

85 gms castor sugar

85 gms flour

20 gms cocoa powder

5 gms baking powder

For the filling

50 gms butter

140 gms chocolate

20 gms golden syrup

280 gms 50% fat cream

200 gms icing sugar

Method:

  • Heat oven to 200°C. Grease and line a 23 x 32cm Swiss roll tin with baking parchment.
  • Beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric whisk for about 8 mins until thick and creamy.
  • Mix the flour, cocoa and baking powder together, then sift onto the egg mixture.
  • Fold in very carefully, then pour into the tin.
  • Now tip the tin from side to side to spread the mixture into the corners.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Place a sheet of baking parchment on the work surface.
  • When the cake is ready, tip it onto the parchment, peel off the lining paper, then roll the cake up from its longest edge with the paper inside. Leave to cool.
  • To make the icing, melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl over a pan of hot water.
  • Take from the heat and stir in the syrup and 5 tablespoons of cream.
  • Beat in the icing sugar until smooth. Whisk the remaining cream until it holds its shape.
  • Unravel the cake, spread the cream over the top, scatter over the crushed mints, if using, and then carefully roll up again into a log.
  • Cut a thick diagonal slice from one end of the log. Lift the log on to a plate, then arrange the slice on the side with the diagonal cut against the cake to make a branch. Spread the icing over the log and branch (don’t cover the ends), then use a fork to mark the icing to give the effect of tree bark.
  • Scatter with icing sugar to resemble snow.
