Black Forest style Raspberry Yule Log

Black Forest style Raspberry Yule Log
For: 8 serv.Difficulty: MediumPreparation: 35 minCooking: 10 min

This is a raspberry log cake made in the style of a Black Forest cake, with a soft cocoa-flavored sponge, whipped "mascarpone" cream, and chocolate shavings!

The recipe is simple and only requires a loaf pan, but if you want the best result, you will need to be precise, especially when cutting the sponge so that the sides fit together. Follow each step carefully, and the result will be perfect :)

I am very happy with the texture of the sponge and the mascarpone whipped cream ♥️♥️ I use my homemade vegan Greek yogurt, and I suggest you choose a thick yogurt.

  • The day before, prepare the cream for the whipped cream: bring the soy milk to a boil. Pour it over the coconut oil and whisk with an electric whisk (or in a blender) for 2 minutes so that the fat and milk are well combined. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).
  • Prepare the soft biscuits: mix the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. You can sift them for an even lighter result. Pour in the soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and oil, then whisk to obtain a smooth batter.
  • Roll out this dough into a large rectangle on a baking mat or a sheet of parchment paper, thinly (approximately 2 mm in thickness). Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Prepare the raspberry jelly: In a small saucepan, heat the frozen raspberries for about ten minutes. Once they are reduced to a purée by the heat, add the agar-agar, whisk, and then set aside in the refrigerator.
  • In your soft biscuit rectangle, cut out the following 6 shapes to the size of your loaf pan: 2x the long sides, 2x the ends, 1x the rectangle for the bottom of the pan, 1x the rectangle for the top of the pan.
  • For these last two shapes: spread melted dark chocolate on one side to coat the cookie.
  • Using an electric whisk, whip the cream prepared the day before into a chantilly. Next, add the icing sugar and yogurt and mix to obtain the "mascarpone" chantilly. Gently fold in the cooled raspberry jelly, being careful not to overmix.
  • Assembling the Yule log: line your loaf pan with plastic wrap. Start by soaking the 4 side cookies in soy milk: the two long sides and the two ends, only on one side. Place them in your mold, soaked side facing inward. Check that your measurements are correct, the angles should be sharp and without any empty space!
  • Line the bottom of the mold (about 2 cm high) with raspberry mascarpone chantilly. Add fresh raspberries here and there.
  • Place the narrowest chocolate-coated biscuit at the base. Fill it again with whipped cream almost to the brim! Add fresh raspberries here and there. Finally, place the largest chocolate-coated biscuit, chocolate side facing down, to close the roulade. Wrap it up with plastic wrap.
  • Place the log in the freezer for 2 hours (or more).
  • Unmold the log and remove the plastic wrap. Decorate with the remaining whipped cream, fresh raspberries, and chocolate shavings. Allow it to thaw for a little hour in the fridge. And congratulations, you can enjoy it!
