Yule log with raspberry and cherry jam and mascarpone cream

Sponge cake recipe

 Ingredients :

• 6 room-temperature eggs
• 1 cup of sugar
• 3/4 cup of flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil

 Preparation :

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Slowly drizzle in the oil while continuing to beat. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, mix all the dry ingredients (flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt), then pass the mixture through a sieve to remove lumps.
4. Gently incorporate the dry ingredients into the egg mixture by folding gently with a spatula, without overworking the dough.
5. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (approximately 17 x 12 inches).
6. Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C), or until the sponge cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7. Once the sponge cake has come out of the oven, let it cool before assembling the yule log.

Mascarpone cream recipe

Ingredients :

• 1 1/2 cups 35% whipping cream
• 1 cup of icing sugar (powdered)
• 2 cups of mascarpone cheese
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla

 Preparation :

1. Using a mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form, then add the icing sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese and vanilla at maximum speed until smooth.
3. Gently combine the two mixtures and refrigerate until ready to assemble the yule log.

 Assembling the log:

1. Once the sponge cake has cooled completely, spread about half of the jar of raspberry and cherry jam (212 ml) over the entire surface. Then, spread one-third of the mascarpone mixture over the jam.
2. Carefully roll up the sponge cake, being careful not to break the roll. Then place the log in the refrigerator for an hour; this will allow the shape to hold its shape.
3. Once the yule log has cooled completely, spread the remaining mascarpone mousse over the entire surface. For decoration, use a piping bag to create patterns and add raspberries and cherries for a delicious finishing touch.

 Indulge in this delicious yule log and enjoy!
