To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the 6 eggs and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the beaten eggs, folding gently until fully incorporated.
Finally, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Divide the whipped cream into three equal parts. In one part, fold in the crushed pistachios, in another part fold in the shredded coconut, and in the remaining part fold in the chopped cranberries.
Once the cake has cooled, remove it from the pan and place it on a clean kitchen towel. Gently roll up the cake, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely while rolled.
Once the cake is cool, carefully unroll it and spread the pistachio whipped cream over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the cake back up, this time without the towel. Place it on a serving platter and cover the entire cake with the coconut whipped cream.
Using a fork, create a bark-like texture on the cake by running it over the surface.
Finally, top the cake with the cranberry whipped cream, spreading it out to look like snow. Decorate as desired with additional cranberries and pistachios.
Your Vietnamese buche de noel is now ready to be served and enjoyed! This unique and flavorful dessert is sure to be a hit at any holiday gathering. So go ahead and impress your loved ones with this delicious and festive treat. Happy baking!
