The Bûche de Noël cake, the classic holiday dessert is a showstopper. It is a French Christmas tradition that dates back to the 19th century. The Bûche de Noël cake represents the yule log that families would burn starting on Christmas Eve. The burning of the yule log symbolized the new year to come and would bring good luck to the family. Since then, it has become the most popular traditional Christmas cake throughout France and is also served in Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Lebanon, and several former French colonies, as well as the United Kingdom and Catalonia. While no one is positive on exactly how the yule log turned into a cake, everyone can agree it’s a delicious tradition we never want to end. This elaborately decorated, rolled, and filled sponge cake is frosted with chocolate buttercream made to look like tree bark. Some of the decorations might include marzipan sticks, sugar cobwebs, and meringue mushrooms.
