Burning Yule log recipe & history of the pagan yule log | #21daystilyule | Day 12
#yulelog #yulelogrecipe #yule
Hi lovelies and welcome in my Christmas kitchen. Today we are preparing for Yule - and a wonderful and festive celebration. And of course, that means great food and some fun pagan traditions served with it.
And in today's video, you will get both - folklore and history of the yule log and my specially created recipe for an extravagant flambeed yule log made of a light chocolate sponge cake and glühweininfused rosehip jam, filled with a creamy Italian hazelnut cream, covered in dark chocolate and well, its a yule log so of course we are going to cover it in candied fruit and marshmallow fluff, douce it with cognac and light it on fire. Your very own edible burning yule log!
And yes, this recipe is a bit more complicated than my other ones, but I challenge you - especially the ones that keep commenting that they are no bakers, to make this. As long as you follow the steps described, there is nothing that can go wrong and you will create a holiday masterpiece - yes, I am talking to you. personally.
By the way, the tradition of burning a yule log, date back to pre-Christian times and probably derives from germanic paganism. It is said that it was a vital part of the yuletide and that a log of oak or ash tree was lit at the hearth on midwinter to welcome the return of the sun and light. The following twelve days it would be burned bit by bit and the ashes sprinkled onto the land, people, and into the food for the animals to bring fertility and growth and protection in the coming year.
Nowadays very few peopñle still burn an actual yule log, but Over time, people have revered this tradition to making festive yule log table decorations with candles in it or cakes like these. The edible version is actually a french tradition and has spread to Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Lebanon, Syria, and several former French colonies such as Vietnam, as well as the United Kingdom and Spain.
A written document back from 580 states that the Bishop Martin of Bracara actually prohibited the pagan tradition of burning wine and fruit over a log during winter times. People obviously didn't listen and kept to their beliefs, as in 753 Bishop Pirim had to renew this law. And as he wasn't successful either, the tradition slowly got taken over into Christian beliefs and from the 12th century, the burning of a yule log is mentioned for the first time as a Christian tradition on a german document.
I thought it would be fun to honor the traditions more than 2000 years old, so today we will also be burning fruit and alcohol over our yule log.
And to honor these more than 2000 years old traditions - we will flambee our yule log!

EASY YULE LOG RECIPE USING BOXED CAKE MIX: How to Make a Gorgeous Bûche De Noël/Christmas 2022
This Yule Log recipe is creamy, chocolatey deliciousness. Just don't be intimidated by how gorgeous it looks. It is SO EASY to make. It starts with a boxed cake mix. Read on for the Easy Yule Log Recipe Using Boxed Cake Mix.
Yule Log Cake
1 box chocolate cake mix
6 eggs
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
For the filling:
1 8oz. tub of whipped cream
1 7oz. container of marshmallow creme
For the frosting:
1 14oz. container of whipped chocolate frosting
*You will also need powdered sugar.
Directions:
Beat eggs in stand mixer or with electric hand mixer for 5 to 6 minutes until they turn a pale yellow and are frothy. Add in cake mix, water and vegetable oil and mix until smooth. Pour cake batter into 12x18 baking pan that has been lined with parchment paper and sprayed with baking spray. Use spatula to spread batter evenly across pan. Bake at 350º for 15 minutes.
Remove cake from oven and let cool 5 to 10 minutes only. Place a linen or cotton kitchen towel onto a flat surface and sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar. Turn cake over onto the kitchen towel. Remove parchment paper. Roll cake tightly lengthwise, leaving towel inside cake as it rolls. Place on cooling rack, seam side down, and allow to cool 30 minutes.
Prepare filling by mixing together whipped cream and marshmallow creme in large bowl. Use electric hand mixer to combine until smooth.
Unroll cooled cake and spread filling over entire cake top. Roll cake once more, this time using kitchen towel as a guide, but not letting towel get rolled into cake. Wrap tightly with kitchen towel and place rolled cream filled cake seam side down in refrigerator and let chill for 1 hour so that it stays molded in shape.
Take cake out of refrigerator and cut both ends off to reveal a sharp, straight roll. Frost with chocolate frosting and use fork or pastry bag with star tip to create lines that mimmic tree bark. Sprinkle with light dusting of powdered sugar to look like snow. You can also garnish with rosemary sprigs and fresh cranberries dipped in water and sprinkled with sugar to look like frosted berries.
