Made with a pillowy sponge cake rolled around a creamy chocolate mousse and decorated with icing, this classic French Chocolate Buche de Noel is a show stopper.

Ingredients

4 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven and prepare cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan. In a medium bowl, beat together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Sift in flour, cocoa, and salt, and stir until just blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Make chocolate mousse

In a medium bowl, beat together heavy cream, chocolate chips, butter, corn syrup, almond extract, and confectioners' sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Spread evenly over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 3: Roll cake and decorate

Carefully roll the cake into a log, starting at one of the short ends. Place on a plate or serving platter. Decorate with sliced almonds. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
