A literal twist transforms a classic Yule Log into a festive show-stopper. By simply cutting the cake before rolling and giving it a little flip, the sponge cake turns into a whimsical, woodland tree stump! Slicing the cake reveals magical vertical layers that are stuffed with the creamiest mascarpone and coffee filling.
This cake wears tons of flair. The “tree bark” exterior is made from whipped chocolate ganache that is covered in edible moss and drifts of snow. From glittery cranberries to crisp meringue mushrooms, decorating this cake is almost as satisfying as eating a slice. Enjoy!
