Our show-stopping Bûche de Noël recipe, also known as yule log cake, is a must-make for the holiday season. A delicious sheet cake spread with fluffy, coffee-tinted filling for the tree rings, and covered in rich, chocolate buttercream frosting for the bark, this traditional Bûche de Noël cake is as delicious as it is photo-worthy. For extra decorating points, use a fork to give your bark some texture or even add a meringue mushroom. Whatever you can come up with, let your imagination guide you and get your whole family in on the fun. Decorating this eye-catching cake could be your new favorite Christmas tradition.
