Take note
Be careful not to overcook the sponge cake or it will become dry. Also, make sure to handle the hot chocolate ganache with caution to avoid burns.

1

Prepare the Sponge Cake

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, grease and line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and frothy. Gradually add the flour and cocoa powder, folding gently until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared tray and spread it evenly. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

2

Make the Fruit Filling

While the sponge cake is cooling, prepare the fruit filling. Wash and chop your favorite fruits into small, bite-sized pieces. You can use a combination of berries, sliced bananas, and diced mangoes for a vibrant and tasty filling. Set aside the fruit and prepare the whipped cream by whisking it until soft peaks form.

3

Assemble the Yule Log

Now it's time to assemble your fruit-filled Yule Log! Carefully transfer the cooled sponge cake onto a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the cake, leaving about an inch border on all sides. Scatter the prepared fruits evenly over the cream. Gently roll the cake, starting from one of the shorter ends, to form a log shape. Transfer the rolled cake onto a serving platter.

4

Decorate and Chill

To give your Yule Log a festive touch, decorate it with powdered sugar, chocolate shavings, and a sprig of holly. Once decorated, place the Yule Log in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and the cream to set. Once chilled, slice and serve this fruity delight to your loved ones!
