Step-by-step instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the chocolate sponge
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan assisted ovens) and line a 23x33cm baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy.
- Sift in the self-raising flour and cocoa powder and gently fold until well combined.
- Add in the vanilla extract and melted butter and mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the sponge is springy to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Make the chocolate buttercream
- In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add in the icing sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- If the buttercream is too thick, add in milk one tablespoon at a time until it reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.
Step 3: Assemble the yule log
- Once the sponge is cooled, carefully remove it from the baking tray and place it on a sheet of parchment paper.
- Spread the chocolate buttercream evenly over the sponge, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one of the long ends, carefully roll the sponge into a log shape.
- Gently transfer the log onto your serving dish and place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set.

- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water.
- Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Using a spatula or spoon, spread the melted chocolate over the yule log, covering the entire surface.
- Melt the white chocolate in the same way and drizzle it over the dark chocolate in a decorative pattern.
- Add your chosen decorations on top of the chocolate before it sets.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy!
