Next Level Yule Log Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and fold until well combined.

Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it up with the parchment paper. Let it cool completely.

In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.

Gently unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake’s surface.

Carefully roll the cake back up without the parchment paper.

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Pour the ganache over the rolled cake, covering it completely.

Transfer the Yule log to a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.

Serve chilled and enjoy!
