Description
It's amazingly delicious!!! The legend of the Christmas log says that the Yule log should be cut off the head of the family. The log should burn in the fireplace all twelve days of Christmas. The ashes of the Christmas log cures illnesses and protects the home from lightning strikes. For the French, the main point of Christmas celebrations become mass in the night from 24 to 25 December. Returning from worship, all sit at the table, which already exhibited a traditional edible Christmas log. In Canada this custom came from the French. And recipe log has changed a bit. The authors of this recipe - the Community members of the Quebec Farmers, who preserve the traditions of national cuisine of Canada. Put it "sticks" to the contest "new year TASTES of the PLANET."

Cooking
For decoration - Holly leaves, berries cranberries. Turn on the oven. Whisk eggs with sugar until fluffy foam, add the sifted flour, 0.5 teaspoon baking powder and 3 tbsp cocoa.
Pan grease drain. oil, you can lay the parchment paper if the pan without nonstick coatings. Bake for 12-15 minutes. To check the readiness with a match.
Remove the dough (warm) from the pan onto a towel sprinkled with sugar.
With a knife cut off the edges.
Turn the loaf with a towel and leave until cool.
Mix cranberry jam with brandy. Whisk the cream with 3 tbsp icing sugar.
A detailed roll grease jam.
Then grease cream 2/3 hammered.
Gently roll. On one side of the loaf diagonally cut off a small piece.
Prepare a creamy coffee frosting. Dissolve 3 tbsp coffee in 2 tbsp water. Oil whisk with the remaining icing sugar, then add coffee, whisk a bit. Butter cannot be beat for a long time, because it can curl up, enough for 5-7 minutes. Roll grease with the cream, leaving 1/4 of the cream to cover the cut. Put the slice on the loaf and it also lubricates the cream. Sides of the roll of slice and brush with remaining whipped cream.
Roll gently sprinkle cocoa through a sieve, not just slices.
Melt the chocolate in a water bath (water should be hot but NOT to Boil!)
For chocolate, add 1 tbsp milk and a piece of plums. oil.
The chocolate glaze is poured into a plastic bag, cut the edge to 2 mm. Draw a spiral on the slices of the loaf. I didn't do too good, because one hand I was taking pictures.
With a knife draw lines from the center to the edges.
You're done! Decorate with cranberries and Holly leaves, sprinkle with a little icing sugar. The Holly leaves in the original recipe needs to be made of marzipan mass. I did the mastic, I guess you could make them brighter, I first sculpted from putty.
