The Yule log cake (or bûche de Noël in French) is an elaborate creation consisting of a rolled, chocolate whipped cream filled sponge cake, frosted with chocolate ganache made to resemble tree bark, decorated with meringue mushrooms, chocolate almond truffle pine cones and any other edible decoration.

To make this yule log cake, there are three fairly easy steps, they include preparing the sponge cake, the whipped cream filling and a chocolate ganache frosting. All you will need is a few simple ingredients, time, patience, and a light hand.
