Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, and ¼ cup cocoa powder. Whip with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and light.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for approximately 12 minutes, until it springs back lightly upon touch.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and invert it onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper, then roll the warm cake up with the towel and allow it to cool.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup mascarpone cheese, 1 cup heavy whipping cream, ¼ cup powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon espresso until smooth and fluffy.
  • Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread the mascarpone filling evenly, and then gently roll the cake back up enclosing the filling tightly.
  • Place the rolled Tiramisu Yule Log seam-side down on a serving platter and dust generously with cocoa powder.
  • Slice the Tiramisu Yule Log into thick pieces, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or additional cocoa if desired.

Notes

Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for best results. Watch the baking time to avoid overbaking, and allow the cake to cool completely rolled up for easier filling.
