Walnut And Cherry Yule Log Recipe. Would you like to create a traditional Yule log recipe with a modern twist? With its rich, decadent flavours and festive flair, a walnut and cherry yule log is a delicious delicately that enhances any afternoon tea.

A light and airy sponge cake base created with finely crushed walnuts gives the batter a nutty richness and serves as the foundation for this decadent treat.

After baking and cooling, prepare a luscious cherry filling using fresh cherries. Spread this vibrant filling over the sponge. Carefully roll the sponge into a log shape, taking care to keep the filling neatly tucked inside. Cover with the icing. Chill the log to set its shape.

Add a dusting of powdered sugar for a snowy effect.

This Walnut and Cherry Yule Log pairs beautifully with a pot of black tea, such as Darjeeling or Earl Grey, which complements the dessert’s earthy nuttiness and bright cherry notes.

It’s the perfect centerpiece for a cosy, festive gathering, bringing warmth and elegance to the afternoon tea table.

What To Do:

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200oC, gas mark 6. Grease and line the base and sides of a 30x20cm Swiss roll tin.
2. Whisk the eggs and sugar together for about 3-4 minutes until pale and thick. Mix together the flour, cocoa and walnuts and fold into the egg mixture. Pour into the prepared tin and gently spread to the sides. Bake for 10 minutes.
3. Sprinkle a little cocoa onto a large sheet of parchment and upturn the Swiss roll onto it. Peel off the parchment from the base and then roll it up from the longest end with the paper inside and allow it to cool completely.
4. Whisk the chestnut puree and icing sugar together until smooth then add the cream and whisk until soft peaks form. Unroll the Swiss roll, spread with the cream mixture and scatter over the cherries then roll it back up into a log.
5. To make the icing, whisk the butter in a medium bowl until pale, gradually whisk in the icing sugar and cocoa powder, and whisk until fluffy, adding a little milk if the mixture is too thick.
6. Cut a thick diagonal slice from one end of the log. Arrange the log onto a serving plate then place the slice on the side with the cut against the cake to make a branch.
7. Spread the log and branch with icing (but not the ends) and use a fork to make a bark effect. Scatter with walnuts and serve.
