Buche de Noel

Make your Christmas celebrations even more special this year when you add this Buche de Noel to the menu! This dessert recipe is actually a lot easier to make than it looks. 

From the blogger: "Yule log, or buche de noel, is the perfect Christmas dessert. It’s not difficult to make, though the rolling might seem daunting, but if it cracks it will look even more authentic, like a gnarly branch of a tree. The secret lies in covering the freshly baked sponge with a damp towel, then turning it out and rolling it up without filling first. The confectioner's sugar makes it look like snow and the filling is the best sweet but not sickly, chocolate whipped cream."
