Ingredients:

For the cake:

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the filling:

• 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the chocolate ganache:

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the egg mixture, folding gently until well combined.

Pour the batter onto the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cake is still warm, gently roll it up with the parchment paper. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.

While the cake is cooling, make the filling by whipping the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.

Unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly on top, leaving about an inch on all sides. Roll the cake back up, using the parchment paper to help you. Place it seam side down on a serving platter.

To make the chocolate ganache, microwave the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let it cool for a few minutes before pouring it over the cake, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.

Use a fork to create a bark-like texture on the ganache. You can also use a knife to create "branches" along the sides of the cake.

Decorate your Christmas yule log with festive decorations like cranberries, rosemary, and sugared cranberries. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.

There you have it – a beautiful and delicious Christmas yule log that will be the star of your holiday table. This recipe is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more. Plus, with its festive decorations, it makes for a stunning centerpiece. So go ahead and give this recipe a try, and spread some holiday cheer with this traditional dessert.
