I did this recipe for Christmas and it came out beautifully with the white chocolate buttercream! Thanks!

I do it on parchment so I have plenty of room to sift and can pick it up easily. You can do the same in a bowl, but I find the parchment easier to deal with.

I have used oil, butter and pam to grease the pan with good results. A sheet that was greased with butter and filled with cake batter will probably not smoke at 350 degrees. It may be something that had landed on the bottom of your oven and heated up along with your cake.

Thanks! Zoë

1. Sift together 1 cup of the sugar, flour, baking powder, and baking soda onto a sheet of parchment; add the salt. — why do you do this on a sheet of parchment paper?

2. Is there a reason why you oil the baking tray (as opposed to butter or pam)? I used butter to grease the tray and my oven turned out a little smoky — is this the reason why oil is better?

Thanks!
P/S: Your mocha buttercream is outrageous indeed! Love it! :)

This almost looks too pretty to eat- not that I wouldn’t, though!

Absolutely wonderful to see you over the holidays:)

In all of my baking years would you believe I have never made a yule log. I think I know what I have to make next Christmas!

Great Post as always! And lovely, lovely photos! :)

Have a Happy New Year! :)

You make it all look so easy. I’ve made ONE and it’s been a few years. Happy New Year to you, Zoe and wishing you continued success on your amazing books!
