Cooking notes

  • There are three bûche de Noël fillings: chantilly cream, buttercream, or the chocolate cream used in this recipe
  • To make sure the egg-sugar mixture needs no more whisking, take a teaspoon of it and drop it back onto the mixture; if it stays on top and does not sink, the eggs have been whisked enough and have reached the right volume
  • To check whether the cake is baked after 20 minutes, place the palm of your hand on the surface of the cake... it should not leave a mark. If your hand leaves a mark, return the baking tray to the oven for 5 more minutes
