Gather Your Ingredients
Before we get started, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients for this Cadbury Christmas yule log. The star of the show is, of course, Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate, which will be used both in the cake and the filling. You'll also need basic baking ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. Don't forget to pick up some heavy cream and Christmas-inspired sprinkles to decorate your yule log.
Preheat and Prepare
To ensure your yule log comes out perfectly, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cake from sticking and make it easier to roll later on. Then, sift together the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, and salt - in a separate bowl.
Melt the Chocolate
In a saucepan, melt the Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Make sure to keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Mix and Bake
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the melted chocolate mixture and the dry ingredients, alternating between the two until fully incorporated. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Roll and Fill
Once the cake is done baking, let it cool for a few minutes. Then, using the parchment paper as a guide, roll the cake tightly from one short end to the other. Let it cool completely before unrolling and spreading a layer of whipped cream and Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate chunks on top. Roll the cake back up and place it on a serving platter.
Decorate and Enjoy
Finally, it's time to add some festive flair to your Cadbury Christmas yule log. Spread a layer of whipped cream all over the cake, creating a bark-like texture with a fork. Then, sprinkle on some Christmas-themed sprinkles and add a few more chocolate chunks on top. Serve and watch as your guests indulge in this delicious holiday treat.
Now that you have the perfect Cadbury Christmas yule log recipe, it's time to get baking! Don't be afraid to get creative with the decorations and make it your own. Happy holidays and happy baking!
