In Lombardy, the head of the family used to sprinkle juniper on the log and place coins on it while reciting a prayer in the name of the Trinity. Then, wine was drunk at will and the remaining wine was thrown by the head of the family on the log; it was also customary, during the log ceremony, to cut three panettone and keep a piece for healing purposes for the whole following year. Once the chocolate sponge is completely cool, unroll it carefully and spread on an even layer of the chocolate whipped cream.

In the United States, a local New York television station first broadcast a six-minute loop of a yule log burning in a fireplace over the course of several hours. The broadcast, called simply Yule Log, premiered in full color on Dec. 24, 1966, at 9:30 p.m. on WPIX (Channel 11 in New York City) and became a yearly tradition. The original Yule Log footage was filmed on 16 millimeter film at Gracie Mansion, New York City's mayoral residence. New footage of a flaming yule log was shot in 1970, in a different location, producing a seven-minute loop on 35 millimeter film. The station still broadcasts the Yule Log for four to five hours every Christmas morning and, through the years, has had many imitators at television stations across the country.

A confession: you’ve probably guessed that the snow in these pictures is fake. Despite all the real stuff that is still lingering in my garden.Snow in the UK is hit and miss and when it does hit then you’ll find me whizzing down hills with my kids on sledges, not taking photos of cake.Actually, I prefer not to be the one on the sledge. But I don’t like to be a total party pooper so attempt it at least a couple of times. You’ve probably heard me when it’s my turn because I tend to scream. Alot. Unroll the Yule log then get your kids to spread the cream into the middle, leaving a little gap around the edges. The filling can be made the day before, spread on the cake, and rolled, and then the cake roll can be wrapped and refrigerated (or even frozen) for another 24 hours or so. When your sponge is ready, remove it from the oven and flip it on to your prepared baking paper. Remove the tin and carefully peel the baking/parchment paper off the bottom. Bake the genoise in the oven for 10 minutes, or until it is pale golden-brown in colour and springy to the touch.

Turn the soaked sponge upside down onto a clean tea towel, then carefully peel away the silicone paper.

The great news is that it’s not a fiddly job when it comes to decorating this cake either. The flavours are rich enough not to need any extra sweetness piled on top, so I’ve put aside the buttercream and ganache and left this cake virtually naked. That’s also why I describe this cake as rustic. Just a scattering of icing sugar and a few rosettes of cream on top is all this log really needs to wear. Next, whisk sour cream, melted butter, and milk together, and fold that mixture into the batter as well. To store it, pop it in the fridge and cover it with foil or cling film. Dust it with icing sugar just before you serve it. Other Christmas desserts
