Bûche de Noël! - Part 1 of 2

Visit Dyannbakes.com for recipe and ingredients.
go here for part two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDpMIgk0Z4Y
The Bûche de Noël, also known as the Yule Log, is a traditional French dessert served during the Christmas holidays. Made from sponge cake; this rolled cake can be filled and frosted with everything from butter cream to rich chocolate ganache. The cake is decorated to resemble a log by creating a bark-like texture with the outer frosting, sprinkling powdered sugar to resemble "snow", and crafting "mushrooms" out of meringue or marzipan as a final garnish. It's no wonder this beautiful (and delicious!) cake has been around since Napoleon I!!! Enjoy and Merry Christmas everyone!

i so love dyann! I am sticked to my computer since yesterday hoping i can bake something as yours..im hopeless//but i will never stop trying! Thanks so much dyann!

[DyannBakes]

Keep trying...you'll get it I promise

[dumb0dumb]

what if there's no cake flour available...is using all purpose flour gonna ruin the whole thing?...coz i dont think that there's cake flour in my country

[DyannBakes]

It wont ruin it, but be very careful as to how long you bake it. If it is overbaked, it will get stiff and not be easy to roll.

I'm making one of these for christmas this year (im posting a video of it :D) but you really helped me out a lot. Im only 18 but aspiring pastry chef and you didn't just go here is this and here is that. You explained everything and you really know what you are talking about. I subscribed instantly and can't wait to see what else you have!
