I made a Christmas vanilla roll log for Christmas, using this recipe: http://www.roxanashomebaking.com/christmas-vanilla-roll-cake-recipe/
It's basically like a Swiss roll, a rolled up cake with buttercream in and similar to the Yule log.
Mine was nice but it was quite dry, so I ate it with Nestle Carnation topping (evaporated milk). The buttercream was nice. I couldn't use the batter bits that were in the recipe because I don't think we have them over here. There are also red and green sprinkles in the recipe but I used Sainsbury's Festive ones, which are red, white and green. Here's a picture of the cake:
One of my Christmas presents was Sam Stern's latest book Sam Stern's Cookery Course (formerly Virgin To Veteran), so I'll be making some recipes from that next year.
Happy New Year! :)
