Stages
Prepare the cake
Prepare the Pink Lady® apple mousse
Prepare the ganache
Putting the yule log together
- Preheat the oven to 230°C.
- Melt the butter.
- Put some baking paper on a 30cm x 40cm baking sheet and brush it with a bit of oil.
- With an electric mixer, whip the egg yolks with 75g of sugar for 3 minutes.
- Add the flour to the egg yolks and mix carefully.
- Beat the egg whites with the tablespoon of sugar until stiff.
- Add the butter and the egg whites to the egg yolk mixture. Mix very carefully, if possible with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the dough onto the baking paper and spread it over the whole surface. Leave the bubbles as they will make the cake spongy and light.
- Bake for 8 minutes.
- Oil a work surface, turn the cake over onto it, and take off the baking paper. Place a clean dish towel over top and let it cool.
- Peel and dice the Pink Lady® apple.
- Put the apple cubes into a saucepan with the butter. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, turn the heat up to caramelise the apples while stirring. They should turn a nice amber colour.
- Let cool.
- Separate the egg white and yolk.
- Beat the egg white until stiff.
- Whip the cream with the rest of the sugar until it stiffens.
- Once the apples have cooled, add the egg yolk and blend everything for a smooth, applesauce texture.
- Add the beaten egg white and the whipped cream to the applesauce and mix carefully. Store in the refrigerator.
- Mix the cream and the milk. Bring to a boil.
- Break the chocolate and add it to the boiling mixture. Turn the heat down.
- Mix until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Cool for one hour in the refrigerator.
- Whip together the cream-chocolate, the mascarpone and the beet juice.
- Spread the apple mousse on the cake.
- Roll the cake.
- Spread the pink ganache all over the log.
- Decorate with the Christmas-shaped sugar pieces.
- Keep in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it
