Coffee Mascarpone Yule Log Cake

3. Prepare the coffee cream

1. Whisk together the mascarpone, liquid cream, powdered sugar, and coffee extract. Keep whipping until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth and stable. It should hold its shape without being overly stiff, making it easy to spread.

4. Assemble the cake

1. Carefully unroll the cooled biscuit. The interior should feel soft and flexible after cooling in the towel.
2. Spread the coffee cream evenly across the entire surface, keeping the layer smooth so the roll stays uniform in shape.
3. Roll the cake back up, this time without the towel, keeping the spiral tight but gentle to avoid tearing.

5. Time to decorate

• Sift cocoa powder over the surface for a classic Yule log finish.
• Garnish with coffee beans for visual contrast and aroma.
• Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar to create a snowy effect.

6. Resting

• Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This rest allows the cream to firm up and the flavors to meld, making slicing easier and cleaner.
