Hi There,
I may be wrong but isn't it just a basic sort of Swiss roll cake with chocolate on it?
I don't know cause i don't eat cakes but i'm sure you just have to make a Swiss roll with any filling you like , roll it up and put chocolate on the top!0 -

Replace one to one and a half tablespoons of flour with cocao powder to make the swiss roll chocolate flavour.
For the icing I make butter cream and then add melted chocolate this makes the covering really nice and chocolately and its not so soft,its delish.

sorry for my ignorance, whats a yule log?0

It's a giant swiss roll covered in chocolate ;D ;D You decorate it with stick on robins and Merry Christmas signs and sprinkle icing sugar on to make it look like it's snowed (or I did as a kid)
Picture (and recipe)
The origins of the yule
The edited version (cause I know you're busy today) basically says pagans light a log and do a dance makes the sun come up in summer.
Probably not a good idea to get the kids decorating one today though ((((160)))) :-* thinking of you. I had the same thing last Christmas.When life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt
