CHOCOLATE DECADENCE YULE LOG

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan and line with parchment paper. Sift flour with baking powder and salt and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high for several minutes until they are very pale and fluffy. Gradually add in the sugar, beating 1 to 2 minutes more or until very thick. Gently, but thoroughly, fold in the flour mixture.
• Melt the chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of water with the 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and the baking soda, then gradually stir into the melted chocolate until smooth. Quickly, but thoroughly, fold chocolate mixture into batter.
• Pour batter into prepared 10x15 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Lightly sift an even layer of confectioners sugar over a cloth napkin or tea towel (do not use Terry-cloth). Flip the cake out of its pan onto the prepared cloth as soon as it comes from the oven. Carefully peel away parchment paper. Lightly dust top of cake with confectioners sugar, then trim away crisp edges. Starting with one of the short sides of the cake, immediately roll the cake up in the cloth, jellyroll style, and cool thoroughly on a rack.
• For the Filling and Frosting: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with the confectioners sugar until smooth, then blend in the vanilla extract and coffee liqueur. Blend in the melted chocolate. Unroll the cake and spread about 1/3 of the filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up.
• Arrange cake roll on serving tray, then frost generously, swiping with an icing spatula to form the long 'bark line' design. Swipe ends of cake in a circular motion to simulate the tree-rings of a cut log. Decorate log as desired with holly leaves and berries, mushrooms and snow.

RASPBERRY JELLY ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F Line an 18" x 13" half-sheet pan with parchment or aluminum foil, and grease the parchment or foil.
• Beat the eggs and salt at high speed until they're foamy.
• Gradually add the sugar, beating till thick and light-colored, about 3 minutes at high speed of an electric or stand mixer.
• Gently mix in the water and vanilla.
• Stir in the flour, scraping the bowl to make sure the mixture is thoroughly combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, making sure it spreads into the corners.
• Bake the cake till it's a light golden brown, and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 16 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, generously sprinkle confectioners' sugar on a smooth dish towel (not terry cloth) larger than 18" x 13". Gently rub/spread the sugar to cover the surface of the towel.
• Remove the cake from the oven, and turn the pan over onto the towel. Lift off the pan.
• Peel off the parchment or foil. Starting with a short end, gently roll the warm cake and towel into a log.
• Let the wrapped cake cool for 30 minutes, or until it's completely cool.
• Unroll the cooled cake, and lift it off the towel onto a clean work surface.
• Stir the jam till any lumps have smoothed out, and it's soft enough to spread easily. Spread it over the cake.
• Roll the cake up, again starting with a short end. Roll fairly tight without squashing; you may see excess jam oozing off the edge when you get to the end. That's OK; just scrape it off and use it on your toast.
• Sprinkle the cake heavily with confectioners' sugar.
• Let the cake set for an hour or so before serving. For prettiest slices, cut off each ragged end, and serve in 1" slices. A garnish of fruit, sauce, or whipped cream is always welcome.
