INGREDIENTS FOR 12 SERVINGS
5 eggs
180 g almond flour
15 g sugar
180 g icing sugar
300 g flour
75 g melted butter
8 egg whites
180 g Nutella®
HOW TO MAKE A YULE LOG
Preheat your oven to 230 °C. Mix the flour, 5 eggs, almond flour, and sugar in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix the egg whites with a hand mixer or whisk, slowly adding the icing sugar until the mixture becomes stiff. Add the egg whites and icing sugar mixture to the flour mixture from Step 1, before slowly folding in the melted butter.
Place the dough on two baking trays lined with baking paper and bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Take out the baking trays and let the cakes cool down for 2 minutes.
Turn each cake upside down onto a flour-dusted tea towel. Carefully peel off the baking paper. Roll up each cake in the towel into the shape of a Yule Log and let them cool.
Unroll each cake and spread half of the Nutella® over the surface. Roll up the cakes again. Pipe remaining Nutella® over the rolls and cut the off the edges. Decorate as you like.
