Ingredients You'll Need
For the Sponge Cake:
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup raspberry jam
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Sponge Cake
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated 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, folding gently until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 2: Roll the Cake
While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it up with the parchment paper from one of the short ends. Let it cool completely in the rolled position.
Step 3: Make the Filling
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface. Top with dollops of raspberry jam and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
Step 4: Roll the Cake Again
Using the parchment paper, gently roll the cake back up, this time without the paper. Place it seam side down on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Step 5: Decorate and Serve
Before serving, dust the Yule Log with powdered sugar and decorate with fresh berries, sprigs of rosemary, and a dusting of cocoa powder. Slice and serve for a deliciously festive holiday dessert.
With this Yule Log recipe from Kirstie Christmas, you can create a beautiful and delicious dessert that will be the star of your Christmas dinner. So go ahead and impress your friends and family with this festive treat, and enjoy the holiday season to the fullest!
