Ingredients

Scale

Sponge Cake:

  • 4 eggs

  • 130 g sugar

  • 120 g all-purpose flour

  • 20 g unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 25 g heavy cream

  • 15 g neutral oil

Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 200 g mascarpone cheese

  • 60 ml heavy cream

  • 130 g peanut butter

  • 80 g powdered sugar

Chocolate Ganache:

  • 250 g dark or milk chocolate, chopped

  • 2 tbsp neutral oil

Salted Caramel:

  • 100 g sugar

  • 50 g salted butter

  • 100 ml heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat to 180°C (350°F). Line a 10×15-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Make the Sponge Cake:
    Beat eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Sift in flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Fold gently. Add heavy cream and oil, mix until smooth. Spread batter evenly onto the prepared pan.

  • Bake & Roll:
    Bake for 10–12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. While warm, roll the cake up (with parchment) from the short side. Let it cool rolled.

  • Prepare Filling:
    Whip cream to soft peaks. In another bowl, mix mascarpone, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream gently.

  • Fill the Cake:
    Unroll the cooled cake. Spread the filling evenly and reroll tightly, removing parchment.

  • Make Ganache:
    Melt chocolate and oil over a double boiler or in microwave bursts, stirring until glossy.

  • Prepare the Caramel:
    Melt sugar in a saucepan until amber. Off heat, stir in butter. Gradually whisk in cream until smooth. Cool slightly.

  • Assemble the Yule Log:
    Place the cake seam-side down on a serving tray. Pour ganache over the top. Drizzle with caramel.

  • Chill & Serve:
    Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Slice and serve chilled or at room temp.

Notes

  • For extra Snickers flair, add crushed peanuts between the filling and sponge.

  • Use a serrated knife dipped in warm water for clean slices.

  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
