Sandra Lee - Chocolate Yule Log

Originally aired as part of the "Christmas" episode (Episode Episode SH1C12) on the Food Network, December 9th, 2004.

Prep Time:20 min, Level: Easy, Yield: 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients:

Cake:
1 pre-made chocolate jelly roll cake
Filling and frosting:
1 (16-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cocoa powder, for dusting
Forest Mushrooms:
10 miniature marshmallows
10 chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Special Equipment: 10 toothpicks

Directions:

Lay cake on a clean work surface. Mix the whipped topping and vanilla extract together until combined. Spread white frosting over the top of the cake to coat completely. Roll up the cake, jelly-roll style, and then cover the outside of the cake with the frosting. Drag a fork along the length of the cake to form a bark design. Dust with cocoa powder and refrigerate.

For the forest mushrooms, insert 1 toothpick through each marshmallow and then into the flat side of the chocolate kiss to form "mushroom." Group chocolate mushrooms along cake by inserting toothpicks into surface of cake, at intervals to resemble growths of forest mushrooms. Dust chocolate kiss candies with confectioners' sugar. Slice and serve.

I make mine the same way, except I lick the fork after each time I drag it across the log

[Heather063]

The cake is a lie!

[rosselanor]

I just wonder how stupid one has to be to need someone instructing him how to make those ridges and spirals in the icing. I mean, I met many idiots in my life, but I don't think any of them would be so inept to need this :/.

the log and the whip cream would cost the same as buying a fully mad log

[ExotiiqueBeautiii]

Nice blurr on the whipped cream. Totally couldn't tell that's cool whip.

SEMI-HOMEMADE ? .......... my ASS !

[mammypimkins]

I love how they blur out the name "Cool Whip" when it is obviously that.

[80z90zhouzemuzicgrl]

[fllnxxangel]

"Now in your grocery store you already have a chocolate creme roll," also known as Hostess Ho-Hos. Well played, Aunt Sandy.

[YametePlease]

Whoa. Skillz.

I don't need a video to show me how to spread store-bought icing on a store-bought yule log. :p But the comments on these videos make my day!
