Buche De Noel (Yule Log Cake) - France

Bûche de Noel, or yule log cake, probably originated around the 17th century. Before this, families would burn logs covered in holly to purge the events of the previous year. Eventually, this fell out of practice and was replaced by a delicious dessert that resembles an actual log. Now, the French buy this decorative cake in bakeries or make it from scratch. The sponge cake is filled with cream, then covered in buttercream and garnished with fresh fruit and herbs. Get the recipe here.
