    Yule Log


    CAKE

    1/2 cup sifted cake flour
    1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup white sugar
    3 eggs, separated
    1/4 cup milk
    1/8 cup confectioners' sugar

    ICING

    2 cups heavy whipping cream
    8 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, melted
    1/4 cup butter, softened

    FILLING

    One 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened
    1/4 c. butter, softened
    2 tsp. vanilla
    1 lb. pkg. powdered sugar

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Beat together sugar and egg yolks at high speed until light and fluffy. At low speed, alternately beat milk and flour mixture into egg mixture.

    Using clean beaters, beat egg whites at high speed until stiff, but not dry, peaks form. Fold one third of beaten whites into batter. Fold in remaining whites. Spread batter in prepared pan; smooth top. Bake cake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until set, 12 minutes. Dust a clean cloth with confectioners' sugar. Turn cake out onto prepared cloth. Remove waxed paper. Trim cake edges.

    Starting with a long side, roll up cake, jelly-roll style. Transfer, seam-side down, to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes.

    FILLING

    Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Blend in vanilla. Sift powdered sugar. Gradually beat together powdered sugar and mixture.

    ICING

    To prepare frosting, in a small saucepan, bring heavy cream, melted chocolate, and butter to a boil over medium heat, stirring vigorously until blended. Remove from heat. Let stand until set. Spread frosting over top and sides of cake.
