I've been using this recipe for over six years now and I can't believe I haven't added a comment - it is perfect! I make several most every holiday season to give to neighbours and to serve with our Boxing Day dinner. The steps are fairly easy and the taste is divine! The hardest part is the same as any log cake: rolling it, letting it cool, unrolling it and then rolling it back up with the filling. I usually end up with some small cracks that are easily hidden inside the cake, or covered with the frosting - today is the first time it all just fell apart and couldn't roll it. Weirdly humid day today and rainy so I think that didn't help. Oh well, like Ronald below I just made parfaits! The flavour is just wonderful and everyone always is super impressed especially if you make some meringue mushrooms to decorate with powdered sugar and rosemary springs on a wooden board. Have fun with it and enjoy!<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-12-19","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Ronald"},"reviewBody":"I did something wrong because the cake stuck and fell apart.

I followed the directions which were very easy and I think my cake came out prettier than the one pictured with the recipe. It was my first rolled cake and it wasn't the least bit intimidating! It was actually a fun adventure with a very happy ending. The combination of flavors was ingenious! SO GOOD!!!<\/p>","CommentId":4,"DateRated":"12\/27\/2017 16:14","GUID":"0905e1b03f1346a1848f9450952636f5","MemberId":9379286,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Liz","SubmittedDate":"12\/27\/2017 16:14"},{"Comment":"
I simply cannot say enough about how stunning, achievable and wonderfully delicious this recipe was. Chocolatey, light and tender cake swaddled in layers of mocha frosting with that perfect balance of fudgey-ness, smoothness and firmness -- it won over us all, even those who aren't that enthused over coffee. This recipe captivated us with its presentation - which was so easy assemble - and the overwhelming perfection of flavor and texture.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"02\/18\/2017 16:39","GUID":"425a149841b6406ab050784233cf8efb","MemberId":8765838,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Irascible_Baker","SubmittedDate":"02\/18\/2017 16:39"},{"Comment":"
I did it! I'm so proud of myself! I made this for Christmas, and I live at 4,500 feet and it still worked. It was spongy creamy yummness. StefaniBuhajla, your daughter was my inspiration. And, I will definitely be making this again next year!<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"12\/28\/2015 08:28","GUID":"bb70e7f446754dba856e595c2c20fa6b","MemberId":1386846,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Summy","SubmittedDate":"12\/28\/2015 08:28"},{"Comment":"
My 17 year old daughter wanted to try her hand at a Yule log for our family celebration. It was a challenge for someone new to baking but, she followed the recipe exactly and it was fantastic! I can't tell you how much everyone raved about it. I wish we could post pictures here because it wasn't just scrumptious, it was gorgeous! I have the picture of my daughter's creation using this recipe over at pinterest! https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/47921183511113452\/<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"10\/25\/2015 19:49","GUID":"fcc411332d634b668c03a2c8b293d48a","MemberId":6473901,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"StefaniBuhajla","SubmittedDate":"10\/25\/2015 19:48"},{"Comment":"
I have never rated a recipe before, but I made an account just to do that. It is so good! It came out picture perfect and it was delicious. There is literally nothing I would change. I made meringue cookie mushrooms to go on top to make it look cute!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"12\/29\/2014 10:49","GUID":"bc6fef6515974116b4372eeedb76414e","MemberId":8188728,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"nghartmann","SubmittedDate":"12\/29\/2014 10:49"},{"Comment":"

One word - YUMMY. Made for dessert for our family Christmas dinner and everyone loved it. Definitely a keeper.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"","GUID":"4DD7752138B245C0B4AF8D8F97C71FDC","MemberId":3339114,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"bwilkin","SubmittedDate":"01\/21\/2014 18:43"},{"Comment":"
I made this Yule log twice, the first time was to make sure it turned out\/tasted good. It did and was. So the second time I made this was for thanksgiving dessert. I doubled the frosting the first time because I didn't want to run out-that was not needed, because I had plenty of frosting. The second time I made it-I doubled the mocha filling-which is the best part! The log was a bit flatter-due to the extra filling, but once iced it held together well! This dessert is pretty and tastes delish, everyone who tried it really enjoyed it too!<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"","GUID":"1e82ecfd9e614cb786f395e75fcf7c64","MemberId":7515799,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"JesSimon","SubmittedDate":"12\/01\/2013 21:08"},{"Comment":"
