This white chocolate raspberry yule log is an elegant, festive holiday dessert with a soft vanilla sponge rolled around a tangy raspberry cream filling and topped with smooth white chocolate ganache. Light, creamy, and full of seasonal flair.

Ingredients

  • For the sponge cake:
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • For the raspberry filling:
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh or thawed raspberries
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • For the white chocolate ganache:
  • 6 oz white chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for gloss)
  • Optional for decorating:
  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh raspberries
  • White chocolate shavings or curls

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Sift in flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until combined.
  4. Spread batter evenly in pan and bake for 10–12 minutes until springy to the touch.
  5. Turn out onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment and roll cake while warm. Cool completely.
  6. For filling: whip cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to soft peaks. Mash raspberries with lemon juice and fold into cream.
  7. Unroll cooled cake, spread raspberry cream evenly, and roll up tightly.
  8. For ganache: heat cream until hot, pour over white chocolate, and stir until smooth. Add butter if using. Let cool slightly.
  9. Spread ganache over the rolled cake. Chill to set.
  10. Decorate with powdered sugar, fresh raspberries, and white chocolate curls before serving.

Notes

  • Roll sponge while warm to prevent cracking.
  • Add a layer of raspberry jam under the cream for extra berry flavor.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the ganache, not candy melts.
  • Chill overnight for best flavor development.
  • Freeze undecorated yule log for up to 1 month.
