Chocolate Yule Log

Learn how to make a beautiful Chocolate Yule Log this Christmas. This chocolate cake roll is filled with whipped cream and covered in a simple chocolate orange ganache. It is surprisingly easy to make, roll and fill!

The humble Chocolate Yule Log ? A soft chocolate genoise sponge filled with homemade whipped cream and rolled to reveal the perfect swirl. Covered in a four ingredient chocolate ganache, it looks like a tree, but it tastes like heaven!

Despite its beauty, my Chocolate Yule Log Cake is surprisingly easy to make. My faithful Chocolate Cake Roll recipe makes the perfect base. I’m sharing all my tips for creating a stunning swirled swiss roll cake (that doesn’t crack).
