Bûche de Noël or Yule Log as it is better known in this country is a traditional dessert served near Christmas especially in France. I attempted to make one last year for our Christmas family get together using a recipe I got from the internet but my attempt was a disaster! Maybe I copied it down incorrectly or did something wrong?... here's the method I used:
A. Place a piece of baking parchment bigger than the Swiss roll tin on the work surface.
B.Pour the mixture into the lined tin and spread evenly out into the corners. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes.
C. Cut a score mark 2.5cm/1in in along one of the longer edges. Starting with this edge, begin to tightly roll up the sponge using the paper.
D. While the cake is cooling, make the ganache topping. Heat the cream in a pan, just so as you can keep your finger in it. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, stirring until it is melted.
E. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Lightly grease a 33x23cm/13x9in Swiss roll tin
F. Uncurl the cold Swiss roll and remove the paper. Spread the whipped cream on top, and re-roll tightly
G. For the sponge, in a large bowl whisk the eggs and sugar using an electric hand whisk until the mixture is pale in colour, light and frothy.
H. Pour the mixture into the lined tin and spread evenly out into the corners. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes.
