Cake of the Week: Buche de Noel (Chocolate Chestnut Log)

Cake of the Week

Buche de Noel (Chocolate Chestnut Log)

Our cake for this week makes a lovely dessert cake for the festive season.

First make the base, then once cooled, spread the chestnut filling over the top and roll into the shape of a log. No need to worry if it cracks, you'll be covering it all up with a chocolate and cream mixture to hide them! If you want to make it and freeze, there are instructions in the Ask Lindsey section at the bottom of the recipe.
