Instructions

Make the Cake
1

For 3 people and 4 people, we've sent you enough for 2 yule logs, if you want to just make 1, follow the ingredients and instructions for 2 people (this recipe is written for 1 x yule log), but you can also make 2 (but you'll need 2 baking trays).

a) Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 5. Line a baking tray with baking paper. TIP: Use a baking tray that is approximately 27 x 38cm in size, with at least 2cm high sides.

b) In a large bowl, whisk the eggs (see pantry for amount) until thick, pale and foamy, 4-5 mins. TIP: If you have an electric whisk this will only take 1-2 mins.

c) Add the cake mix (see ingredients for amount), water and vegetable oil (see pantry for both amounts) and whisk until smooth and combined, 1-2 mins.

d) Pop the cake mixture into the lined baking tray and spread to the edges. Pop onto the middle shelf of your oven and bake until risen and a skewer placed into the centre comes out clean, 6-9 mins.

Prep the Baking Paper
2

a) While the cake bakes, lay a large piece of baking paper flat on a flat surface. Sprinkle the sugar (see pantry for amount) evenly over the baking paper.

b) Once the cake is baked, allow the cake to cool for 1 min or until it's safe enough to handle, before running a knife around the edge of the cake to detach any that has stuck to the baking tray.

Time to Roll
3

a) Carefully flip the cake upside down onto the sugar-covered baking paper. Remove the top piece of baking paper that is attached to the cake.

b) Starting at one of the short ends, tightly roll the cake with the sugar-covered baking paper, using gentle pressure to ensure there are no big gaps.

c) Once rolled up completely, twist the ends of the baking paper to ensure the cake does not unravel, then set aside to cool completely, 45-60 mins.

Make the Filling
4

a) Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the ricotta and half the Baileys Caramel Sauce. Pop into the fridge util the cake is cool.

b) Once the cake is completely cool, gently unroll it. Spread the caramel ricotta over the cake.

c) Re-roll the cake in on itself (without the baking paper) to enclose the filling then pop onto your serving plate and into the fridge. TIP: Lay the cake seam down to stop it from unrolling.

Melt the Chocolate Ganache
5

a) Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and creme fraiche. Pop on medium heat until the chocolate has melted, 2-3 mins. Allow to cool, 10-15 mins.

b) Remove the cake from the fridge and slowly pour over half the melted chocolate ganache. 

c) Using the back of a spoon, gently spread the chocolate ganache over your cake, then pour over the remining ganache and spread over the cake, ensuring it is fully coated.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Pop into the fridge to set slightly, 15-20 mins.TIP: As the chocolate ganache cools in the fridge it will become less runny, if any of your ganache has run off the cake you can spoon it back on and spread it over again with your spoon.

b) Using a small sieve, dust over the icing sugar (see pantry for amount) to decorate.

c) Serve with an extra drizzle of your remaining Baileys Caramel Sauce to finish.

Enjoy!
