Bûche de Noël, or Yule log
The most traditional Christmas cake in France is the Yule log or bûche de Noël. A rolled sponge cake filled with buttercream, it is shaped and decorated with chocolate frosting or ganache to resemble a log of wood. The cake celebrates the end of winter. In pre-industrialised Europe, the Yule log was an actual piece of wood, which was burnt on the longest and coldest night of the year. It was believed that it vanquished the darkness.
The first-known Yule log recipe was published in 1895. “In recent centuries, that tradition was brought to the table, taking the shape of a rolled cake to be cut, as a lumberjack would cut a log,” says Chef Maxime Montay of Delhi-based French patisserie Monique. Monique’s menu offers two choices: Belgian-style dark chocolate and salted caramel, and Swiss-style blueberry and chestnut. You can place orders on their website 24 hours in advance.
