This eye-catching dessert is guaranteed to delight holiday dinner guests. Chocolate lovers yule log cake lick their lips over the yummy cocoa cake, mocha filling and frosting.
For a festive touch, I garnish the log with marzipan holly leaves and berries. Line bottom of a greased 15x10x1-in. Sift flour, cocoa and salt together twice. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. 2 cup sugar, beating on high speed until thick and lemon-colored.
Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high after each addition until sugar is dissolved. Continue beating until soft glossy peaks form. Fold a fourth of the whites into batter, then fold in remaining whites. Transfer to prepared pan, spreading evenly. Invert onto a tea towel dusted lightly with cocoa.
