Bûche de Noel - Yule Log - Weihnachtsscheit

December is the month time runs faster than every other month of the year. This year I almost forgot that I was really excited to participate in this months' Daring Baker's Challenge: Yule Log. But now that christmas lies only one night ahead, I read my favorite food blogs and found out, that yesterday some daring bakers already posted their yule log. But fortunately we were allowed to post on two days.
What should I say: It was one of the best christmas treats ever! I knew "bûche de Noel" as a french christmas favourite but never prepared one at home!
Both - the genoise and the buttercream - were easy to prepare. Instead of cooling the filled yule log for several hours I cooled only for half an hour. Time was short and I had invited myself at my parent's house promising I would bring some cake.
Thanks to Ivonne and Lisa for choosing this wonderful Yule Log!
The recipe can be found here (thanks to Ulrike for converting to metric!)!

Ein sch?nes Event, diese Baumst?mme. Und die Pilze sehen auch schick aus.
Frohes Fest
I agree, it's the only reason I have espresso powder in my pantry! Your mushrooms turned out so pretty, and you managed to shape your log so even! Well done
Frohe Weihnachten!
Na ja, bei mir war das mit der Buttercreme nicht so einfach. ;-)
Toll ist er geworden dein Baumstaum. Frohe Weihnachten!
Da kann man nur sagen: Hut ab!
Ach ja: und Fr?hliche Weihnachten!
Sch?n sieht er aus, aber bei uns wird es den nicht noch einmal au?erhalb einer Challenge geben :-)
@Sivie: Dir auch ein sch?nes Fest!
@baking soda: Glad to know I'm not the only one to keep this powder only for baking purposes!
@zorra: Schade, dass es mit Deiner Buttercreme nicht so gut geklappt hat. Sieht man Deinem Yule log aber nicht an ;-)
@maria und team: Danke! Euch auch fr?hliche Weihnachten!
@Ulrike: Warum nicht? Davon lese ich bei Dir gar nichts?!
You did a great job on such short notice. I love the dusted mushrooms. Hope you parents enjoyed their cake.
sieht ja wundervoll aus, aber wohin damit ? Liebe Claudia, sch?ne Festtage w?nscht Dir Robert.
Frohe Weihnachten. Your Buche de Noel looks so good.
Most realistic mushrooms so far, Claudia! I love them!!
And your log is gorgeous =) I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

An absolutely lovely yule log! I am tempted to have a slice - if only I could... Your genoise looks so fluffy and light :) Great job.
Ooooh! Love your yule log! The mushrooms are great and I love the Father Christmas's lurking around. Beautifully done!
Gosh those look good! I'll have to try them soon. Thank you for the recipe!
