Description

A delightful dessert combining rich coffee flavor with the crunch of hazelnuts, perfect for holiday celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 eggs
  • 100 g sugar
  • 100 g flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee
  • 250 g mascarpone
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 100 g crushed hazelnuts
  • 50 g sugar
  • 50 g butter
  • Cocoa powder
  • Whole hazelnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Line a baking tray (approximately 10×15 inches) with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
  4. Gently fold in the flour and instant coffee until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden and springs back when touched.
  7. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  8. Carefully roll the cake in the parchment paper from one short end to the other, creating a log shape. Allow it to cool completely.
  9. In a bowl, combine the mascarpone, instant coffee, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  10. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and sugar over medium heat.
  11. Add the crushed hazelnuts and stir until well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden and crunchy. Remove from heat and let cool.
  12. Unroll the cooled sponge cake and spread the coffee cream evenly over the surface.
  13. Sprinkle the crunchy hazelnut filling on top.
  14. Roll the cake back up tightly and place seam-side down on a serving platter.
  15. Dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with whole hazelnuts.
  16. Refrigerate the Yule Log for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

Make sure your eggs are at room temperature for better volume. When rolling the sponge cake, do it gently to avoid cracking. Adjust coffee amount based on your flavor preference.
