Spiced Paleo Yule Log A Yule log or bûche de Noël is a traditional dessert served near Christmas, especially in France, Quebec and several former French colonies. A few years ago when I spent my first Christmas with Ben's family in Chattanooga, we started a tradition of making a yule log cake. Place the log on a pretty platter and cut a one inch slice from one end and place it on top of the log. You can have Spiced Paleo Yule Log using 12 ingredients and 12 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

Though a chocolate roulade, or "yule log" is generally a Christmas dessert, it's something I make year round. When I was four, I remember poring over my mom's food magazines and dreaming of a chocolate roll filled with sweetened whipped cream (I was also a bit obsessed with the Martha Stewart cookbooks, perhaps foreshadowing what was to come later in life!). Bûche de Noël, an homage to the yule log in velvety rich chocolate form, is a welcome if not essential holiday treat in many homes. A thick and luscious layer of dense chocolate sponge cake is wrapped around a layer of mouse or chantilly cream, dusted with cocoa powder and often finished with chocolate ganache and meringue or marzipan mushrooms. A Yule log is a traditional dessert served near Christmas, especially in Europe.
