RD and I generally tend to not collaborate well on kitchen excursions of the baking kind; but today for whatever reason went rater smoothly. Rob said that he wanted to help with his birthday yule and so I let him, and after traumatizing me only a little about the egg separation process we mixed up a respectable sponge cake.A Yule log, sometimes known as the Great Ashen Faggot,[1] is a large log which is burned in the hearth as a part of traditional Yule or Christmas celebrations in some cultures. It can be a part of the Winter Solstice festival or the Twelve Days of Christmas, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or Twelfth Night.
The expression "Yule log" has also come to refer to log-shaped Christmas cakes, also known as "chocolate logs" or "Bûche de Noël".
The cake is still sitting completely intact in the freezer and even though I would really like to get a cross-sectional pic of the nicely rolled cake and the blueberry creamcheese filling I'll have to wait until someone slices into it, possibly on day two. For now, this is all I've got-
