Yule Log with Chocolate and Chestnut Buttercream

WRITTEN RECIPE: http://cookingwithalia.com/index.php?option=com_zoo&task=item&item_id...
Today we are making the Yule Log Cake, which is la "Bûche de Noël". It is a traditional French cake that is only available during Christmas time. It is made of a 'genoise' (a soft sponge cake), filled with a flavored buttercream, and shaped into a yule log. You can also find it in many French speaking countries including Morocco. I remember waiting the whole year for that day where my mom comes from work to take me to a bakery so we can choose the most beautiful Yule Log! Enjoy!

رائع جدا تسلم ايدك

بس انا ما عرف شو الكرمية اللي حطيتيها بليز ممكن شرح؟

[cookingwithalia]

@allmasashops Chestnut in arabic is كستناء, and what I used is Chestnut cream, which is a traditional french cream used for desserts. not sure where you live, but you can try specialty stores or online to see if you can buy it. Otherwise, use another filling to do the cake. hope this helps!

You did it! Looks yummy! How long can you keep this? And do you have a recipe for madelienes the soft ones?(Lol)

[cookingwithalia]

@MsZenZen79 you can keep it in the fridge (covered with a plastic wrap) for 2-3 days. Also, you can wrap with foil and freezer bags and freeze it for 1 month. Just thaw before serving. will look into the madeleine :-)
