Spiced Paleo Yule Log
- 6 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon Powder
- 150 grams Honey
- 50 grams Raw Cacao Powder
- 200 grams Cooked Chestnuts (pureed)
- 25 grams Honey
- 1 tbsp Raw Cacao Powder
- 2 tbsp Coconut Cream
- 1 tbsp Raw Cacao Powder
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon Powder
- 1/4 tsp Mixed Spice
- Preheat the oven to 160C, 320F
- Line a Swiss roll tin or low sided baking tray with baking paper, leaving enough to hand over the top and bottom edges.
- Whisk the egg yolks with the honey and vanilla until pale and creamy.
- Wash the beaters and in a separate bowl beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, this will take around 5 minutes.
- Fold the cacao powder and cinnamon powder into the egg yolk mixture, then fold the egg whites in.
- Pour into your lined tin and bake for 20 minutes.
- Once cooked remove from the oven and cover with a sheet of baking powder followed by a damp tea towel, leave to cool.
- To make the filling: pop all of the filling ingredients into a food processor and whizz until a thick smooth puree has formed.
- Set to one side.
- To assemble your roll: Once the sponge is completely cool cover the top with a chopping board and flip.
- Peel off the under layer of paper.
- Cover the entire piece of sponge with a nice thick layer of filling working to the edges.
- To roll your log simply use the baking paper and tea towel to gently coax the sponge into a roll, short end to short end.
- Once rolled trim top and bottom to neaten if needed.
- Dust your roll with the cacao spice mix and top with a sprig of holly!
