YULE LOG (BUCHE DE NOEL) MCCALL'S COOKING SCHOOL
I cut this recipe out of the December 1973 (the month my DS was born) issue of McCall's magazine. If you're a chocolate lover and love to impress people with your artistry, this is the recipe for you! A lot of directions but don't be intimidated, it's actually quite easy. And my kids LOVE it! (Cooking time does not include chilling times.) EDITED TO ADD: After seeing all these lovely photos, I feel like my more simple version looks "under dressed"... I sprinkle powdered sugar over the un-iced "log" and serve whipped cream on the side of each slice.

CHOCOLATE YULE LOG
If you haven't tried this classic holiday dessert because you thought it required advanced baking and pastry skill, then get ready to buche up this Noel, since the techniques required are actually quite simple. This classic holiday dessert is a showstopper, but it's often better looking than it is tasting, which is not the case here, thanks to a simple-to-make, rich chocolate sponge cake, and mocha buttercream filling. Garnished here with meringue mushrooms and rosemary.

Steps:
- Whip powdered sugar, butter, cocoa powder, salt, and coffee liqueur together in the bowl of a stand mixer on high speed. Transfer buttercream into a separate bowl and add mascarpone cheese. Mix until combined; set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush a little melted butter over a 13x18-inch rimmed sheet pan. Line pan with parchment paper and brush remaining melted butter on top.
- Combine cocoa powder, salt, and flour together in a bowl; whisk or sift to break up clumps.
- Place eggs in the clean bowl of your stand mixer. Add sugar and whip until fluffy, thick, and very light in color. Add 1/2 of the cocoa powder mixture and vanilla extract; mix on low speed for a few seconds. Beat in remaining cocoa mixture on low for a few seconds. Switch to high speed; stop once mixture is moistened but not fully blended. Pull off the whisk attachment and whisk batter with it until evenly blended.
- Pour batter onto the prepared sheet pan and spread out with a spatula, leaving some room around the edges. Tap pan on the counter to knock out the large bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges start to pull away from the sides, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Dust a clean kitchen towel with enough powdered sugar to cover an area slightly larger than the sponge cake. Remove cake from the oven. Run a knife around the edges of the pan. Sprinkle some powdered sugar over the top. Run a spatula under the parchment paper to make sure it's not stuck to the pan.
- Quickly flip pan on top of the sugared area to invert the cake. Remove parchment paper and dust cake with more powdered sugar. Gently roll cake up inside the towel; allow to cool for 15 minutes.
- Unroll cake and dollop buttercream on top, reserving some for later. Spread frosting to the edges. Roll cake up over the frosting, using the towel to lift it if needed. Sprinkle more powdered sugar on top. Wrap log in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
- Combine chocolate chips and hot cream in a bowl. Let sit for 1 minute. Whisk until chocolate melts.
- Make an angled cut 3 inches from one end of the log. Place log on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Apply some buttercream to the angled slice and attach it to one side. Spread a layer of ganache all over the cake, except for the swirls. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up ganache.
- Carve lines into the ganache using the tip of a knife to create the appearance of tree bark. Refrigerate until completely chilled before serving. Dust with cocoa powder and powdered sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Put the eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a mixing bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of boiling water. Beat the eggs and sugar together until the sugar dissolves. This will result in a cake with a finer texture. Remove the bowl from the heat.
- With a mixer at high speed, beat for 15 minutes until the mixture is very pale.
- Sift the flour, and fold into the egg mixture. Stop mixing as soon as all ingredients are well blended.
- Line an 11-inch-by-16-inch jellyroll pan with wax paper, and butter and flour the paper. Spread the mixture over the wax paper. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cake shrinks slightly from the sides of the pan.
- When it is done, remove the cake from the baking sheet and turn it upside down onto a flat surface that has been covered with wax paper or parchment. Cover the cake with a damp cloth and let it cool. This will keep it flexible enough to roll.
- To make the dessert syrup, combine the corn syrup, Grand Marnier and water. Mix thoroughly.
- To make the butter cream, simmer the sugar with the water in a small saucepan until it reaches 250 degrees on a kitchen thermometer.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks at medium speed in a mixing bowl. Then add the boiling sugar little by little. Continue beating until the mixture is cool, about three to five minutes.
- Add the butter and continue to whip the mixture at low speed for seven minutes. Then add Grand Marnier.
- With a pastry brush, brush the dessert syrup on the side of the cake to which the paper was attached. Spread three-quarter of the butter cream over the surface of the cake. Roll the cake very tightly and refrigerate for one hour.
- To decorate, cut two one-inch slices off one end of the cake. Place them on the log to simulate two sawed-off branches. With a pastry bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle, cover the top of the log with the reserved butter cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

BUCHE DE NOEL
Buche de Noel is the French name for a Christmas cake shaped like a log. This one is a heavenly flourless chocolate cake rolled with chocolate whipped cream. Traditionally, Buche de Noel is decorated with confectioners' sugar to resemble snow on a Yule log.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Dust a clean dishtowel with confectioners' sugar.

Cool for 30 minutes.
- Unroll the cake, and spread the filling to within 1 inch of the edge. Roll the cake up with the filling inside. Place seam side down onto a serving plate, and refrigerate until serving. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
