I made one last year but did not have an electric whisk.. took absolutely ages. I’m sure my dad enjoyed being in the background watching me and my aching arms - all knowing there was a Kitchen Aid hand whisk waiting for me under the tree!
I’m sorry but I giggled at this. My dad would have done the same 😂♥️
That's sad and hilarious at the same time
A great memory...😊🇨🇦
@@auntiedough2488 it’s such a Dad thing to do haha!
Hey how did it taste
I’m not even done watching, but this deserves a Paul Hollywood handshake!
Hhhbo
Lol
Dont slander this recipe with that adulterers names ;)
Hahaha that’s funny
Lol
I really love it when Sally does a video. She make all the recipes seems so easy and her enthusiasm is infectious! I hope she will continue to do more videos.
Thank you x
@@mindfulbaking Dearest Sally, please do a Tuesday tip video on how to make meringue mushrooms! Please please do it.
Lottss Love♥️
I agree 😁
🎵 Last Christmas I gave you fruit cake
And the very next day you threw it away
This year to save me from tears
I made you a chocolate yule log 🎵
best Christmas song ever. 😎👌
This is naturally gluten free. I'm seriously gonna cry of joy 😭💕 I was already thinking before watching the video how I'd replace the flour for a gluten free option. Maybe you didn't intend to make this coeliac friendly, but you did, and it really makes me feel happy and taken into consideration 😭😭❤ thank you so much!
So am I!
Thanks sooooooo much sally
The mushroom merangui was the cutest thing ever ... Its like a warm hug 🤗
Just wanted to let ya’ll know that I made this on Christmas Eve this year. The instructions are perfect. A little stressful (I was certain it was going to stick to the tea towel, but it didn’t). The cake was a MAJOR hit with my family. So good, so light. Definitely adding this recipe to the cookbook. Highly recommend.
Made it again this year. My mom was asking me all year long to make it again, but I resisted because I wanted it to be a Christmas treat; like something to look forward to. Made it on Christmas Eve again this year and it was a hit (again). Such a great recipe - Incredible cake!
See you again next year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
Sally, you look so cool. I love the head wrap with the big hoops. You look super cool in a very understated way. Go sally! As always the baking is unparalleled
Aw wow that’s so kind, thanks!
I love how Sally is always so happy and cheerful in each video.
I’ve made one of these every year since I was 8 years old as a Christmas tradition and it’s so fun! We actually use a fork at the end to make ridges and lines throughout the icing to make it look like tree bark. 🎄
Love to see the way you make this at Crumbs & Doilies, I may just have to try this instead of my recipe ❤️ Merry Christmas!!!!
That’s such a wonderful tradition!
@@FlourEggsYeast thank you! ☺️
I couldn't think of a single Yule log joke. I guess it's time to *log off.*
I look forward to your comments in every food video! You are so witty 😁😁
Very nicely made cake. I just loved it. Merry Christmas in advance
I’ll branch out and say yule be barking mad then? 😉
Yule have to try harder next time
Yule must be up the wrong branch then
You are such an amazing teacher. Your little tips, which are second nature to you really help a home baker. Can I make this a couple of days earlier then decorate the day I'm serving please. Love all your tutorials. Thank you and Happy Christmas to you all.🎄🥰🧡
I'm having my son's 2nd birthday this sunday and this log is the perrrfect cake for the dessert spread. Plus, i choose forest theme for the small celebration. Ahhh, what a nice coincidence. Thank u Sally, Jemma and C&D team!
My family has been making a buche de Noel every year for as long as I can remember, as a Christmas tradition! This is probably the best type of cake there is out there, I hope everyone enjoys making this!
I wrote down the recipe and made it, and it turned out wonderfully! I swirled homemade raspberry jam into the chantilly cream filling and made chocolate bark to act as the 'bark' for some extra texture and it was delicious!
What great additions! I might try that too 😀
awesome well done 👏🏽😃
I made this for Christmas Eve following exactly minus the brandy. It was a hit with everyone, not too sweet, very moist, and turned out very pretty. I added meringue mushroom and sugared rosemary and cranberries for decorations. Also topped with some crushed candy cane. Thank you for saving me with success.
I made this today. And it was a success. It turned out very tasty
Made this recently, this was absolutely amazing! Definitely will make it again but two things I would do are
1. Make a little bit more of the cream filling - my log was a little bit flat
2. Serve the cake in room temperature, the ganache taste the best when it just start to melt
Thank you so much for the recipe again !
Sally, you look so glam! That headband! Those tortoise hoop earrings! You look wonderful! 😉 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Thank you! 😚
Ive been watching your mint yule log tutorial in preparation yayyyy. Yes you have done it Sally, Jemma has a video making the mint version!
Just made this after looking high and low for the perfect recipe. It is BOMB! Came out just like shown, and it didn't crack. The cognac in the chantilly absolutely takes it up a notch, so do not skip that part. Miam!!! Merry Christmas everyone.
My boyfriend doesn't like the taste of alcohol (and most of his family doesn't like hard alcohol like a good cognac), so last Christmas I filled mine with a whipped salted caramel buttercream and it was AMAZING. I can never go back, but the cognac Chantilly is very good.
Great tip! I've heard of folding the corners of the parchment paper to make it sit in the pan better. But cutting little squares in the corners seem like it will work even better!
I've been searching for ages for those big cutters you use to cut the edges off your cake so I'm soo happy you've added them to the website 😁😁😁
And this looks like my Christmas day dessert too 😋
OMG i need one of those cutters😭 i’ve struggled to find one
I made this for Boxing Day, did the sponge Xmas eve, rolled it up and left it rolled till boxing day morning and it was perfect. It was devoured with everyone coming back for seconds. This is going to be a favourite. Thank you so much
Amazing & thanks for the tutorial. Followed it to the letter and it rolled into something I hope Bob Marley would have been proud of.
That’s the funniest comment I’ve read for ages! 😂
Made this today for our Christmas pudding. I can’t get over how light it was and absolutely delicious! Very strange texture to have something chocolate but light and airy! Thanks!!
I've made this three Christmas dinners in a row and it is always a crowd pleaser!!❤ This year we had an impromptu early Christmas dinner and the family was so pleased and impressed that I put this roll cake together so wonderfully. My thanks to Cupcake Jemma for the best teaching and recipes!!! I and my family thank you! Merry Christmas!!!❤
Just made this yule log today, and it tasted AMAZING thank youuu
Sally. Please never stop making these videos. You & the whole team proper cheer me up. Going through a rough patch at the moment. And watching all these videos make me smile. Thank you xxx
Awh thank you. 😘
Two Sally vids in a week = early Xmas present!
I love this woman. She is very natural on camera. It also makes me laugh hearing her say 'Air' because I'm from New England and say it the same way.
Hahaha thanks x
So, this is my first time learning about you guys after I decided to make a pavlova for Christmas. I watched the tutorial and in a couple of weeks, will be making it for the first time!! I am really nervous but feel confident at the same time because of you 3. Now, you're launching a patreon channel...how exciting!! I'm IN!! Love you all!!! --Bridgette from Chicago!!!
Ridiculously delicious!! I did a dry run a few days before Christmas since I have not baked a lot in years!I learned a lot. On the second cake I used kitchen aid with the whisk attachment for all three mixings. Everything set up perfectly. I whipped up that ganache so it would be stiff enough to not have the fondant decoration not sink through it. Worked! It held the stiff little lines well to make it look like a tree. Filling is decadent and deliciously light. I used some vanilla paste to have some tiny vanilla bean flecks in the cream. The one challenge is the cake. The first try was an unmitigated disaster! I stuck like glue to the towel and I had to scrape bit off and assemble from that. Second try was much better and I used parchment paper instead with a lot of frosting sugar. What I did notice both times is that the weight of rolling it causes the cake to sort of flatten out a bit. Still delicious but neither held a round log form. Compressed itself to oval. Still gorgeous and delicious.
This recipe is SO GOOD. I made one for my friends holiday party and I’m making another for my family on Christmas Eve! Thanks for the amazing recipe!
I WILL DEFINITELY TRY THIS RECIPE! I've been trying a lot of your recipe and the results are excellent. They never fail! Thank you Jemma and Sally! You both are lovely! Hello from Indonesia, by the way. Hope the pandemic will be over soon so I can go to C&D and meet your amazing team there ❤❤❤
There's something both so amazing and so intense about watching a roll cake get rolled up! And that one went just beautifully!
Definitely! It's nerve-wracking just watching it, but so satisfying when it's done!
Hi Jemma, I’ve been making a Yule Log for more years than I care to remember, recipe is of a famous baker ( MB )!!
I tried your recipe yesterday, & wow it was sooooo much lighter, & it didn’t crack, will be making your version from now on, thank you so much .
Merry Christmas
I’ve made this for the last few years and I’m just getting ready to make this year…. It is the best recipe for happy kids on Christmas Day… amazingly light but delicious and looks perfect every time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I had an extremely stressful day. Sally made it all go away for 20 minutes and now I’m in a much better frame of mind. Thank you Sally....you and this recipe were exactly what I needed. You are lovely ♥️🎄
I heard the word “air” in 2mins into the video way more than I hear it throughout the day. She is so adorable!!
I am so happy that you didn't use any flour at all because I have to eat gluten free. Makes everything easier. So, thank you Sally! ❤️
My son and I made this recipe this Christmas and it was simply AMAZING!! Plus I just loved listening to your accent!! I’d love to visit your bakery!! Thank you… delicious, fun and inspiring!!
Sally, this is a beautiful cake that looks and sounds so delicious! Thanks for the recipe but also - thanks for your encouragement and tips throughout the video!
You’re welcome! Cx
I made this and it was SOOO good. I ran out of vanilla extract so I used the same amount of almond extract and it was delicious! Thanks Sally!
Thank you for this video! I have made this cake two years in a row now! This year I ran out of eggs, so I couldn't make the mushrooms. I improvised and placed champagne corks around this years cake.😁And boy was this cake scrumptious! A true crowd pleaser thanks to you!
Ohh Sally thank you so much 😘💖. I love it and must try it. Please do the vanilla version too. Love to you and Jemma too 😘😘.
WOW! I am only 12 years old and made this cake and it turned out soooo well, I halfed the recipe as that we did not have that many people that were going to eat it. I did this for food technology as the theme was Christmas. If you have the things to make it, please DO!
I just did this recipe. Although it gave me a lot of trouble and didn’t come out looking too good (and the cooking time took forever for mine) it ended up tasting great.
I seriously cannot get enough of this content! You all are amazing and my family and I are super greatful. 🥰 I made a yule log last holiday season and I CANNOT wait to replace that recipe with this one. Love from our cute homestead in Arkansas ☺️
Best video for a recipe I’ve seen in a long time. You are a brilliant presenter, cheerful with clear instructions. I don’t normally bother to leave comments but you deserve a “well done”. I’m going to attempt your Yule log today.
I swear I watched a yule log video by Jemma the other day. I watch so many of your videos I might have imagined it! But allllllll for the yule logs!!
They've done a few but this is a different recipe for the sponge :)
A thing of beauty, good job Sally.
I love the videos in the kitchen - gives me bon appetit vibes
I made this for my family Christmas…enjoyed by everyone from my 4yr old niece to my 93yr old Dad!
This was absolutely delicious! Though mine did crack slightly, covered in the ganache, nobody noticed and when it was sliced it made a perfect swirl! Thank you, made our Christmas Day! Yummy
Sally does such a great job!!!
Thanks!
@@mindfulbaking Thank you! Also, what temperature did you bake the cake at?
ugh Sally is so captivating in every video
My grandma used to make these and it was my favourite Christmas treat. So excited to try it this Christmas. This my be my favourte recipe Cupcake Jemma has done!!!
Oh my goodness SALLY!! I literally just made this and took my first bite and it is INCREDIBLE! I had to cut the recipe in half as my dinky oven will only accommodate small baking pans and such, and it came out sooooo perfect! Thank you so much for this recipe I'm going to be making it multiple times between now and new years :D
I was just thinking that I have to make a Yule log this year! Perfect timing!
Where have you been all my life 😭❤?? The metric units... The tips... I love yooouuuu, I'm making this on Wednesday.
I made this for my family and it went over SO well! It was an absolute hit, and it really was like eating chocolate air!
Flourless chiffon? Interesting! It looks amazing Sally xxx
Always wanted to know how to make this!! Thanks guys 😻😻😻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and as always the chocolate Queen Sally is rocking it!!! 😻
I have made a fair amount of yule logs in the past. But I can tell you very honestly, it has never ever turned out as beautiful, light, gorgeous, swirly, ni crackley as this one. I cannot wait to taste it tomorrow and hopefully amaze my guests. Best best recipe 🥰🥰🥰
Heyyy... how was it the next day? Was it dry? I would be grateful if you could reply as I really want to attempt to make one this year for 20 people. Was it dry in any way? Thank you
OOOH Sally, this Christmas log looks delicious. Love your videos. Stay safe and see you soon. Bisous de la France
What an amazing video from Sally!! This made my birthday!! Amazing!!
Happy Birthday!
@@mindfulbaking I share bday with Dane!!
You do such great videos for work! Your such a beautiful soul Sally ✨ Keep these awesome videos coming. Stay safe! From AUS 😊🇦🇺
This los looks so cool! 😉 Happy holidays everyone!
I think you meant log 😋 yeah it's cool!
To you tooo🎄
@@andreaolivares8716 yeah that's what I meant lol 😋 thanks for correcting me
@@julsandrea7357 thanks 😁
Happy Holidays!
I have been baking for a long time but never made a yule log. I decided this year to make one. Honestly did not know what to fill it with so I happened to stumble upon this video. Cannot wait to try it. I will be making ganache but dark chocolate. Everything is better with the slightly bitter chocolate. I would make those darling merengue mushrooms but my husband would hate them. I think I will just add some cute little decorations.
This is the best Buche de Noel I've ever made! The recipe was so easy and foolproof. My daughter doesn't like whipped cream (??) so I made a whipped chocolate ganache for the filling. Otherwise I followed your recipe exactly. So beautiful and delicious!
Thank you for the clear instructions for this recipe. I've never made a yule log before, and mine turned out perfect. I couldn't get the egg whites as fluffy as the ones shown here, but it worked well and baked perfectly in 10 mins.
Also I couldn't find 50% choc chip, so went for 70% instead and it's still super delicious. The instructions for rolling were fab - there were no breaks and the swirl at the end was amazing!
Keep up the good videos, happy holidays 🌲🎄🎅🦌⛄
Good idea Sam the mushrooms look really good! And of course well done Sally another amazing bake! Xx
Yule log is my fav at Christmas time! That is for the fool proof recipe. Merry Christmas Sally and the gang! 🎄🎅🏼🥂
Great recipe - although I had to adjust my oven to 210C as somehow 170C didn’t really work for me. The rest is great! Everyone loves the lightness of the cake. Thanks Sally!
This was perfect! So well explained with tips which many channels skip to share.
Thank you! My first with yule log on Christmas and came out fantastic! I used brandy cream.
Folding with a metal spoon is classic old school technique.....well done ✅
Hope you are all well and I hope you understand the joy you are spreading in this difficult time x
Thank you x
My mum loves Yule log and this recipe is now one of her fave thank you guy so much
Just finished my Yule log using your recipe today!! It was the first Yule log I've ever made that didn't crack. I've made loads over the years but I'm definitely most excited for this one. Can't wait to eat it tomorrow 🎄😁
Happy Christmas Sally! Thanks for all your great videos and helpful tips throughout the year.
I made it yesterday, and it taste reallyy good!! thanks for the recipe!
Mmmm yummy honey bunny….let’s get baking ❤❤❤❤ Thanks Sally for sharing this vlog 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is the best yule log I've seen! Brava.
I tried this recipe absolutely amazing 🥲 was rich and creamy ....my first log without a single crack in it !! -13 yr old approved 😌😌
An absolutely incredible recipe!Thumbs up!Even though I used a different filling and topping ....the cake roll was out of this world!!!Thanks for making my first go at it so positevely memorable and rewarding!
I’ve made this in April cos it’s sooooo amazing but it’s funny hearing Christmas music!
Just the video I needed! Planning to try my hand at baking and decorating a Yule Log for our lil Christmas celebration this year.
I always whip my ganache for extra lightness to our chocolate cake .. so happy to see you doing it !
I just made this though it aint the season i know, but it turned out amazing. Thank you for the great recipe. The only thing i added is hazelnut praliné in the cream and it turned out really good. No crack in the roll, and the ganache was magical. I even made the little mushroom meringues using a recipe on the channel too. If you wanna try it, definitely do so. Its gonna be a february log no biggie.
Yup I get scared so I’ve never made it but it is delicious. With your tips I will give it ago. It was the rolling that frightened me. Thank you for your tip😀
Wow Jemma, your chocolate log looks absolutely scrumptious! I will make it this Xmas. ❤ thanks for sharing. Helene
Love the cake . Loved all your tips and your enthusiastic presentation. Was very inspiring!
Sal, you are just so pleasant to watch! I wish all of you it crumbs and doilies a very merry Christmas🎄⛄ from Washington state in the US 💕🪵🍄🍄
I will definitely try this recipe 😊 ❤️ love it 😍 thank you Sally for this delicious recipe ❤️ 🤩
Wahoo! You’re welcome
@@mindfulbaking love you and crumbs and doilies team a lot ❤️ 💖 have a great Christmas 🤶 ❤️
Thank you for another great video Sally! That swirl looks so satisfying 😍 Love all your recipes as always x
I remember learning to make this in catering (food tech) for gcse's i loved it, made it again at home but i've not made it in about 10 years. I still have the recipe in my recipe book and this video has now made me think i should give it a try again for the holidays.
This looks so yummy 😋I always use chocolate whip ganache to fill my chocolate French macarons they are my most request at partys. 🥰
I made this this year and it was superb. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
I’ve just finished making this in prep for xmas day; had to improvise on a few ingredients and my sponge stuck a little to the towel on the final roll, but all in all it looks fantastic!! just hope my improvisations taste okay haha! can’t wait to try this out in approx 1 day haha! 💜Thank you!! x
