The tartness of the raspberries cuts through the richness of the chocolate, creating a perfect balance of flavors. Top it off with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for a stunning and delicious dessert.
Ingredients You'll Need
For the cake:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven and prepare your baking pan
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and greasing a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Make the cake batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the vegetable oil, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
Step 3: Bake the cake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
Step 4: Make the frosting
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
Step 5: Assemble the log cake
Once the cake is cooled, carefully remove it from the pan and place it on a flat surface. Spread the frosting evenly over the cake, leaving about 1 inch at the edges. Starting at one of the short ends, gently roll the cake into a log shape, using the frosting to help hold it together.
Step 6: Decorate and serve
Place the log cake on a serving platter and use a knife to create a bark-like texture on the frosting. You can also use a fork to make lines resembling tree bark. Decorate with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or miniature Christmas decorations for a festive touch. Slice and serve your delicious Christmas log cake to impress your guests!
With this easy recipe, you can create a beautiful and tasty Christmas log cake that will be the highlight of your holiday dessert spread. So why not add this festive treat to your Christmas menu and spread some holiday cheer with your loved ones?
