My group5 friends met up yesterday. One of them told the story of how she knows someone who bakes every Christmas for Jesus for His birthday. I think that is such a brilliant idea! Here is where the tradition begins. Happy birthday to Jesus.
I did some research on Yule log. I decided to use carol's chocolate banana Swiss roll recipe. For the chocolate powder in the recipe, I used the 100% valrhona chocolate powder. The chocolate powder made the cake dense. The outcome was actually very good. The filling was with also from carol. It was the chocolate whipped cream in the chocolate and nuts Yule log recipe. I followed the recipe but used less cream in the whipped cream part because i didn't have enough. It made the cream more stiff. The chocolate was valrhona equatorial was noire 55%. I chopped chocolate before melting it.
Overall the taste was very good. Didn't taste like Asian cake but much less sweet. My friends really like it. I am very glad.
