TRADITIONAL FRENCH BUCHE DE NOEL RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Butter a 10 x 15-inch jelly-roll pan with a 1-inch lip and line it with parchment paper. Butter the parchment or spray it with cooking spray. Set the pan aside.
- Beat the eggs for 5 minutes, until they turn thick and foamy.
- Add the sugar, orange liqueur, orange zest, vanilla extract, and salt to the eggs and continue beating for 2 minutes.
- Fold the flour, a few tablespoons at a time, into the whipped egg mixture.
- Once the flour is incorporated into the batter, stop mixing. Do not overmix or the cake will bake up into a tough texture.
- Gently spread the batter into the prepared pan. Gently smooth any peaks of batter but do not press the batter down.
- Bake the cake for 10 minutes, until the cake is just set.
- Invert the baked cake onto a clean, dry kitchen towel and peel off the parchment paper. Wait 3 minutes and then gently roll the cake, still in the towel, starting at the 10-inch end. Allow it to cool completely.
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a clean, completely dry bowl beat the egg whites on high until soft peaks form. Set them aside.
- In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and 2/3 cup water to a boil. Allow it boil until it has reduced into a slightly thickened syrup.
- Begin beating the egg whites on high speed again, and pour the hot sugar syrup into the eggs in a slow, steady stream.
- Add the espresso powder, and vanilla extract into the egg whites and continue beating until thick and glossy.
- Remove 4 tablespoons of the meringue and set to one side.
- Continue beating and add in the melted chocolate and keep beating until the meringue has cooled completely.
- Add the softened butter to the meringue, 2 tablespoons at a time, while beating on high speed, until all of the butter is incorporated into the frosting. If the buttercream becomes runny at any time in this process, refrigerate the meringue until it has chilled through and continue the process of beating the butter into the meringue.
- Unroll the cake and set aside the towel. Evenly spread 2 cups of the chocolate buttercream on the inside of the cake, following its natural curve, gently form it into a cake roll.
- Cut off the ends on the diagonal and reattach them in the center of the cake with a bit of buttercream to create a branch.
- Spread the exterior of the buche de Noel with enough chocolate buttercream to cover it and gently pull a butter knife or small, offset spatula through the frosting to give the appearance of rough tree bark.
- Again using a spatula, cover the ends of the logs with the reserved light-colored cream.
- Finish by adding decorations like meringue mushrooms to complete the festive look.
- Chill the cake before serving it and refrigerate any leftovers.

BUCHE DE NOEL
Steps:
- To make the buttercream: Whisk the egg whites and sugar together in the bowl of an electric mixer. Set the bowl over simmering water and whisk gently until the sugar is dissolved and the egg whites are hot. Attach the bowl to the mixer and whip with the whisk on medium speed until cooled. Switch to the paddle and beat in the softened butter and continue beating until the buttercream is smooth. Dissolve the instant coffee in the liquor and beat into the buttercream.
- Turn the genoise layer over and peel away the paper. Invert onto a fresh piece of paper. Spread the layer with half the buttercream. Use the paper to help you roll the cake into a tight cylinder Transfer to baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until set. Reserve the remaining buttercream for the outside of the buche.
- To make the marzipan: Combine the almond paste and 1 cup of the sugar in the bowl of the electric mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on low speed until the sugar is almost absorbed. Add the remaining 1 cup sugar and mix until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add half the corn syrup, then continue mixing until a bit of the marzipan holds together when squeezed, adding additional corn syrup a little at a time, as necessary; the marzipan in the bowl will still appear crumbly. Transfer the marzipan to a work surface and knead until smooth.
- To make marzipan mushrooms: Roll 1/3 of the marzipan into a 6-inch long cylinder and cut into 1-inch lengths. Roll half the lengths into balls. Press the remaining cylindrical lengths (stems) into the balls (caps) to make mushrooms. Smudge with cocoa powder. To make holly leaves: Knead green color into 1/2 the remaining marzipan and roll it into a long cylinder. Flatten with the back of a spoon, then loosen it from the surface with a spatula. Cut into diamonds to make leaves, or use a cutter.
- To make holly berries: Knead red color into a tiny piece of marzipan. Roll into tiny balls.
- To make pine cones, knead cocoa powder into the remaining marzipan. Divide in half and form into 2 cone shapes. Slash the sides of cones with the points of a pair of scissors.
- Unwrap the cake. Trim the ends on the diagonal, starting the cuts about 2 inches away from each end. Position the larger cut piece on the buche about 2/3 across the top. Cover the buche with the reserved buttercream, making sure to curve around the protruding stump. Streak the buttercream with a fork or decorating comb to resemble bark. Transfer the buche to a platter and decorate with the marzipan. Sprinkle the platter and buche sparingly with confectioners' sugar "snow."
- Storage: Keep at cool room temperature. Cover leftovers loosely and keep at room temperature.
- Set rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees.
- Half-fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat so the water is simmering.
- Whisk the eggs, yolks, salt, and sugar together in the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer. Place over the pan of simmering water and whisk gently until the mixture is just lukewarm, about 100 degrees (test with your finger). Attach the bowl to the mixer and with the whisk attachment, whip on medium-high speed until the egg mixture is cooled (touch the outside of the bowl to tell) and tripled in volume.
- While the eggs are whipping, stir together the flour, cornstarch, and cocoa.
- Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture over the beaten eggs. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the flour mixture, making sure to scrape all the way to the bottom of the bowl on every pass through the batter to prevent the flour mixture from accumulating there and making lumps. Repeat with another 1/3 of the flour mixture and finally with the remainder.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake the genoise for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until well risen, deep and firm to the touch. (Make sure the cake doesn't overbake and become too dry, or it will be hard to roll.)
- Use a small paring knife to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan. Invert the cake onto a rack and let the cake cool right side up on the paper. Remove the paper when the cake is cool.
- Storage: Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for several days, or double-wrap and freeze for up to a month.

Steps:
- Make the chocolate sponge cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a roll cake baking pan or 18 x 13-inch (45 x 33 cm) baking sheet with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 3 tablespoons of sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
- Whisk in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
- In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on medium speed until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add the cream of tartar and whip on medium-low speed for 2 minutes, then gradually add the remaining ½ cup (100 G) superfine sugar. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, another 2-3 minutes.
- Fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly on the prepared pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until fluffy and the cake springs back when gently pressed.
- Drape a kitchen towel over the cake and set a wire rack on top. Carefully invert the cake onto the rack, peel back the parchment from the bottom, and let cool for 10 minutes. Carefully roll the cake into a log with the towel inside and allow to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, make the chocolate hazelnut buttercream: In a large bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to high and whip for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Reduce the speed to low and add the milk, vanilla, and salt. Whip again for 2-3 minutes until well incorporated and the buttercream is light, bright white, and fluffy.
- Fold in the chocolate-hazelnut spread with a rubber spatula. Cover with a kitchen towel or place wrap and set aside at room temperature.
- Make the ganache: Place the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted. Refrigerate the ganache for at least 30 minutes to firm.
- Make the meringue mushrooms: Reduce the oven temperature to 200°F (93°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
- Gradually add the sugar and whip until dissolved and stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes more. The mixture should be glossy, shiny, and very stiff.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip. Pipe half of the meringue onto the prepared baking sheet in ½-1 inch (2.54 cm) wide circles resembling mushroom caps. Use your fingers to gently press down any peaks. Pipe the remaining meringue into ½-1 inch (2.54 cm) long stems. Dust the mushrooms with cocoa powder.
- Bake for 1½-2 hours, until the mushrooms are completely dried and hard to the touch. Turn off the oven and leave the mushrooms dry out in the oven for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. The mushrooms can be made 1-2 days ahead.
- Assemble the mushrooms: Dip the flat sides of the mushroom caps in the melted chocolate and attach the mushroom stems. Stand the mushrooms upright and let dry, 30-45 minutes.
- Make the sugared cranberries and rosemary: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and top with a wire rack.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (200 G) sugar and the water. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Drop the cranberries into the syrup and stir to coat, then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to one side of the wire rack. Let cool for at least 1 hour, until no longer sticky, then sprinkle cranberries with ¼ cup (25 G) sugar. Set aside.
- Bring the remaining syrup to a boil. Add the rosemary sprigs and stir to coat, then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the other side of the wire rack. Let cool for at least 1 hour, then sprinkle rosemary with the remaining ¼ cup (25 G) sugar. Set aside.
- Assemble the bûche de noël: Unroll the sponge cake.
- Spread 2 cups (230 G) of the chocolate-hazelnut buttercream. evenly over the cake, leaving a 1-inch (2.54 cm) border around all sides.

BUCHE DE NOEL
Steps:
- For the walnut biscuit:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a half sheet pan, line with parchment paper, butter the paper and dust with flour. Whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Beat in both sugars and whip to a stiff, glossy meringue. Alternately fold the cake flour and egg yolks into the meringue in 3 batches, starting and ending with the flour. Fold in the nuts. Spread the batter evenly in the pan, and bake until the cake is pale gold, the center springs back when you press it lightly with your finger, and the edges start to pull from the sides of the pan, 10 to 12 minutes. ;
- For the pastry cream:
- Whisk the yolks, cornstarch, and the 40 grams sugar in a medium bowl; the mixture will be very thick, but try to whisk enough to remove most of the lumps. Put the 75 grams sugar in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until dark brown; don't worry if it crystallizes a bit. Turn the heat to low and whisk in the maple syrup, then whisk in the whisky, turn up the heat, and let simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to boil off the alcohol. Whisk the milk and vanilla bean scrapings into the caramel mixture and bring to simmer. Slowly whisk about half of the hot mixture into the yolks, then whisk that mixture back into the pot, bring to a boil, whisking, and cook, still whisking, until thickened. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, salt and maple extract. Pour into a shallow dish, press plastic wrap onto the surface, and chill until set and very cold, about 4 hours. Beat the cold pastry cream in a standing mixer until smooth. When ready to use, whip the cream until it is very stiff, then beat into the pastry cream. Chill until ready to use. ;
- For the buttercream:
- Put the sugar in a medium pot and add enough water just to moisten; use your fingers to wet the sugar evenly. Bring to a boil. While the sugar is heating, start beating the yolks and egg in a standing mixer with the whisk attachment. When the syrup reaches about 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer (softball stage), pour it into the yolks with the mixer still running, taking care not to pour it onto the whisk. Beat until cooled to room temperature. Beat in the whisky and the maple extract. Cream the butter in another mixing bowl using the paddle attachment. Beat in the cooled egg mixture until smooth. You can use it right away, or chill it overnight; if you chill it, rebeat when you are ready to assemble the cake. ;
- For the sugared cranberries:
- Have a cookie sheet or shallow dish and a slotted spoon next to the stove. Put the sugar in a medium pot and add enough water just to moisten; use your fingers to wet the sugar evenly. Add the cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, add the cranberries, and immediately pull from the heat. Transfer the cranberries to the cookie sheet with the slotted spoon. Cool. ;
- For the maple tuiles:
- Cream the butter, maple syrup, vanilla bean scrapings and salt until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat in egg whites until smooth. Beat in the flour. Let the batter rest and hour or so at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before baking. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with a silpat. Using a stencil, smear the batter thinly on the silpat and bake until dark golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the pan while still warm. If you want to shape the cookies, put them over a bottle or rolling pin while warm; let cool. If desired, brush lightly with luster dust. ;
- Assembly:
- Turn the cooled cake onto a piece of parchment or waxed paper with a long side near you. Spread the chilled pastry cream evenly over the surface, leaving a 2-inch border across from you. Using the parchment paper to lift, roll the cake as tightly as possible. Set seam side down on a platter or large pan, and chill for an hour or so. Frost the cake with the buttercream, smoothing the surface so it looks like bark. Decorate with candied cranberries, walnuts, orange peel, and tuiles. ;
BUCHE DE NOEL
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 12-by-15-inch sheetcake or jelly-roll pan and line it with aluminum foil or baking parchment, leaving an overhang of about an inch on each end. Grease and lightly flour the foil or paper.
- Toast hazelnuts in oven until they turn dark brown, about 7 minutes. If nuts are unblanched rub in a towel to remove skin. Let nuts cool; then grind until fine in a processor with 1/4 cup sugar.
- In bowl of an electric mixer, beat 6 egg yolks with remaining 1/3 cup sugar until pale and stiff, about 5 minutes.
- In a clean, dry copper bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer - or using a hand-held electric beater -whip 7 egg whites slowly until they start to foam. Increase speed to medium. When they are opaque white, add salt and beat at medium speed until stiff white peaks form, about 3 minutes.
- Alternately fold the sifted flour, nuts and half the whites into yolks. The batter will be thick. When all components are incorporated, fold in remaining whites. Remove 1 cup of the mixture and stir the melted butter into it. Fold into the batter.
- Spread batter on prepared sheetcake or jelly-roll pan with a spatula, spreading evenly to corners and along sides; try not to deflate batter. Bake 5 to 6 minutes, until cake just springs back when pressed. It is better to underbake it slightly.
- Remove cake from pan using the overhanging piece of foil or paper. Set on a counter or rack. Turn over onto another baking sheet and carefully peel off foil or paper. Turn over again onto a clean sheet of foil, and cover with towel. With an electric mixer whip the yolks at medium speed until pale, thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, stir together sugar and water. Boil until you can form a soft ball with a bit of syrup dropped from a spoon into a bowl of cold water; it should register 242 degrees on a candy thermometer. This takes 3 to 4 minutes after the syrup comes to a boil. With mixer running, slowly pour the syrup in a thin stream into the center of the yolks. Beat at slow to medium speed until mixture is cool, about 10 minutes.
- With mixer still running, slowly add the softened butter to the yolks and beat at low speed until completely smooth, about 5 minutes. If even after 5 minutes the cream still has small lumps, remove about a half-cup to a bowl and beat it over hot water until it is smooth; return to the mixer bowl and all of the cream should become smooth, with the consistency of creamed butter. (You can repeat this process several times.) Increase speed to medium and continue beating 10 minutes, until butter cream billows like whipped cream and shows large air holes when a spoon is run through it.
- Beat in dissolved coffee.
- To assemble buche, use a spatula to spread butter cream over the cake. The cream layer should be less than 1/4 inch thick. Crumble all but 3 marrons glaces over the butter cream. Using the foil as a support, roll up the cake by the long end to form a log shape. Trim ends.
- To decorate, place a ruler over length of the log and sift confectioners' sugar over log. Remove ruler and arrange slices of reserved marrons glaces down the length. Transfer to a serving platter. Buche is best left at room temperature and served within 3 to 4 hours, but it can be refrigerated for a day.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Line jelly roll pan, 15-1/2x10-1/2x1", with waxed paper or baking parchment (I use the parchment). Grease (and I flour the bottom).
- Mix flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- Beat eggs in small mixer bowl (I do this in the big Kitchen Aid mixer with the wire beater) on high speed until very thick and lemon colored, 3-5 minutes.
- Pour eggs into large mixer bowl if using a small one, and gradually beat in granulated sugar.
- Beat in water and vanilla on low speed.
- Gradually add flour mixture, beating just until batter is smooth.
- Pour into pan, spreading batter to corners. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 12-15 minutes.
- Loosen cake from edges of pan; invert on towel generously sprinkled with powdered sugar. Carefully remove paper; trim stiff edges from cake if necessary.
- While hot, roll cake and towel from narrow end.
- Cool on a wire rack for 30-60 minutes.
- Beat whipping cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar (more to suit taste), and the coffee, in chilled bowl until stiff.
- Unroll cake carefully.
- Spread whipped coffee cream filling over cake, reserving about 3-4 tablespoons in a small dish.
- Re-roll, using towel to help, if necessary.
- Cut a piece of the roll from one end, at an angle - maybe an inch at the narrow part to 2 inches at the wide part of the slice, and set aside for a moment while you begin to frost the log (Move the cake to it serving plate before you begin icing the log.) with the chocolate icing.
- Make the icing by mixing the cocoa and margarine, then stirring in the powdered sugar, flavor, and hot water to a nice spreading consistency.
- Set the waiting slice atop the frosted log - the icing should hold it in place sufficiently, or use a toothpick if you think you need to - to resemble a cut branch stub.
- Ice those sides, too, blending into the main log part for a realistic look.
- Use the reserved coffee whipped cream to cover the ends of the log and the top of the 'cut branch'.
- Now's the fun: Using a fork -- I like one with tines rather apart -- draw the bark on the tree - just pull the fork through the soft frosting.
- Rinse the fork and draw the circular rings on the ends (the coffee cream),
