1

Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper with a little bit of butter to ensure easy removal later.

2

Whip Up the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine 4 eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. Slowly add in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, folding gently to incorporate. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly.

3

Bake and Roll

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it up tightly, starting from one of the shorter edges, using the parchment paper to help you. Let it cool completely while still rolled.

4

Unroll and Fill

Once the cake has cooled, gently unroll it. Spread a layer of your favorite filling, such as whipped cream, chocolate ganache, or fruit preserves, over the entire surface of the cake. Don't be shy with the filling!

5

Roll Again and Decorate

Carefully re-roll the cake, this time without the parchment paper. Use a serrated knife to trim off the ends for a clean finish. Place the log-shaped cake on a serving platter and cover it with a rich chocolate frosting. Feel free to get creative by adding festive decorations like meringue mushrooms, powdered sugar snow, or edible holly leaves made of fondant.

6

Serve and Enjoy

Slice your Christmas Yule Log with a twist into beautiful rounds and serve to your eagerly awaiting guests. Enjoy the delicious taste and bask in the glory of your festive creation!
