Ingredients you'll need:
For the sponge:
4 eggs, separated
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
For the filling:
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cherry pie filling
For the frosting:
½ cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Now, let's get started on the easy Christmas yule log recipe that will impress your family and friends.
Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the sponge
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the egg yolk mixture and mix until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the sponge cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing it from the pan and placing it on a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2: Assembling the yule log
While the sponge is still warm, roll it up tightly with the kitchen towel inside. Let it cool completely.
In a bowl, beat the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Unroll the cooled sponge and spread the whipped cream on top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Spread the cherry pie filling on top of the whipped cream.
Roll up the sponge tightly and place it on a platter with the seam side down.
Step 3: Frosting the yule log
In a bowl, beat the softened butter with the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and heavy cream until smooth.
Spread the frosting over the entire yule log, using a fork to create a bark-like texture.
Use a knife to cut off one end of the log at a slight angle and place it on the side of the log to create a branch.
Decorate the yule log with powdered sugar, fresh holly, or any other festive decorations of your choice.
Refrigerate the yule log for at least an hour before serving.
Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy your delicious and easy-to-make Christmas yule log. Happy holidays!
