INGREDIENTS - Sponge • 200g unsalted butter, softened • 200g caster sugar • 4 medium eggs • 200g self-raising flour • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 2 tbsp milk Berry Compote • 250g raspberries or strawberries (fresh or frozen) • 60g sugar • 1 tbsp lemon juice • 1 tbsp cornflour + 1 tbsp cold water Buttercream • 250g unsalted butter, very soft • 500g icing sugar • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 2–3 tbsp milk METHOD - 1. Sponge: Preheat oven to 170°C (fan). Line two 8-inch tins. Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Gently fold in flour, then add vanilla and milk. Divide between tins and bake for 20–25 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely. 2. Berry Compote: Heat berries, sugar and lemon juice until bubbling. Stir in cornflour mixture and cook until thick and glossy. Leave to cool fully - it should be thick and spreadable. 3. Buttercream: Beat butter for 3-5 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add icing sugar gradually, mixing well. Add vanilla and milk until smooth and spreadable. 4. Assembly: • Place one sponge on your board. • Pipe/spoon on a buttercream dam around the edge (this stops the filling leaking). • Spoon the berry compote into the centre. • Add the second sponge on top. • Apply a thin crumb coat and chill for 20 minutes. • Finish with a thicker layer of buttercream. • Decorate with piped flowers in soft pinks and white 🌸"

It’s past the season, but I made my first bûche de noël (yule log) cake.

This is the first log cake I’ve ever made in general. Used the America’s Test Kitchen recipe with a tip from Stella Parks recipe on cooling/shaping.

Vanilla cake
Caramel espresso filling
Chocolate ganache coating

The cake cracked when I rolled it but it got covered with the ganache so all good.
