Christmas chocolate log cake recipe

In the old days, this cake was decorated to resemble the pieces of wood that provided warmth in winter.

Let’s have a look at the ingredients for the Christmas chocolate log recipe:

– 4 eggs
– 12 dkg icing sugar
– 6 dkg ground almonds
– 1 packet baking powder

Ingredients needed for the chocolate buttercream:

– 20 dkg icing sugar
– 10 dkg soft butter
– 1 tablespoon of warm water
– 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Ingredients needed for the chocolate filling:

– 2 dl cream
– 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
– 1,5 tablespoons of icing sugar

First, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Separate the eggs, put the whites in one bowl and the yolks in the other. Beat the sugar with the egg yolks until thick and pale. Then stir in the ground almonds, flour and baking powder. Beat the egg whites with a whisk until stiff. Fold the beaten egg whites into the almond mixture. When it is ready, pour it into a baking dish. Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Then let the dough stand for 10 minutes. Then cover with the cloth and put it in the fridge for 1 hour. To make the delicious buttercream, just whisk the butter and icing sugar until fluffy, then add the cocoa powder and water. To make the filling, whip the cream. Stir in the cocoa powder and sprinkle with a little sugar. You need to take the dough out of the fridge and cut around the edges with a knife. Sprinkle a little icing sugar on the stretching board or whatever you are working with, then place the sponge base on top. Spread the chocolate and cream filling on top and gently roll up. Put it on a plate and spread the chocolate buttercream on the finished roll. You can use a fork to form a pattern that resembles bark. You can even sprinkle fruit on top to taste.
