• coffee liqueur
• cocoa powder
• salt
• mascarpone cheese
• butter
• cocoa powder
• all-purpose flour
• kosher salt
• egg
• white sugar
• vanilla
• heavy cream
• dark chocolate chip

Instructions

1. 1 Whip 1 ⅔ cups confectioners' sugar, ½ cup butter, coffee-flavored liqueur, 1 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder, and 1 pinch salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed.
2. 2 Transfer filling to a separate bowl; stir in mascarpone cheese until combined. Set aside. Clean and dry the stand mixer bowl.
3. 3 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. 4 Brush a 13x18-inch rimmed baking sheet with a little melted butter. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper; brush parchment with remaining melted butter.
5. 5 Whisk ½ cup cocoa powder, flour, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt together in a bowl, making sure to break up any clumps.
6. 6 Place eggs in the clean stand mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment. Add sugar; whip until fluffy, thick, and very light in color, 2 to 3 minutes.
7. 7 Add vanilla extract and ½ cocoa powder mixture; mix on low speed for a few seconds.
8. 8 Add remaining ½ cocoa mixture; mix on low for a few seconds. Switch to high speed; mix until the mixture is moistened but not fully blended.
9. 9 Pull off the whisk attachment and use it to whisk the batter by hand until evenly blended.
10. 10 Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet; spread out with a spatula, almost to the edges, but not quite. Tap the baking sheet on the counter several times to remove any large air bubbles.
11. 11 Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges start to pull away from the sides, 8 to 10 minutes.
12. 12 Meanwhile, sift some confectioners' sugar onto a clean kitchen towel to cover an area slightly larger than the sponge cake.
13. 13 Remove cake from the oven. Run a knife around edges of the baking sheet. Dust some confectioners' sugar over top of cake. Run a spatula under the parchment paper to make sure it's not stuck to the baking sheet.
14. 14 Quickly flip the baking sheet on top of the sugared area on the towel to invert the cake.
15. 15 Carefully remove the parchment paper, then sift more confectioners' sugar over cake.
16. 16 Gently roll cake up inside the towel; set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
17. 17 Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Dollop as much buttercream filling as you like on top, reserving some for later; spread to the edges.
18. 18 Roll cake up over the filling, using the towel to lift it if needed.
19. 19 Sprinkle more confectioners' sugar over top of log; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
20. 20 Pour hot cream over chocolate chips in a bowl; set aside for 1 minute, then whisk until chocolate is melted.
21. 21 Cut log at an angle 3 inches from one end of log. Place log on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
22. 22 Spread some filling on the angled slice; attach it to one side of the log.
23. 23 Spread a layer of ganache all over cake, except for the swirls on the ends. Refrigerate until ganache firms up, 15 minutes.
24. 24 Carve lines into ganache to create the appearance of tree bark using the tip of a knife. Refrigerate until completely chilled.
25. 25 Dust with cocoa powder and confectioners' sugar before serving.

Ingredients

• ✓ powdered sugar
• white sugar
• white sugar
• egg
• all-purpose flour
• flour
• butter
• water
• baking powder
• salt
• semisweet chocolate
• butter
• cocoa powder

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a jelly roll pan. Line it with parchment paper, and grease the paper.
2. 2 Beat 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar and egg yolks until light and fluffy. Add 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoons flour, butter, lukewarm water, and baking powder; beat until well combined.
3. 3 Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff. Transfer 1/3 of the whites to the cake batter and gently fold in. Repeat with remaining whites. Spoon batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until it springs back when pressed gently in the middle, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit in the pan for 3 minutes, before carefully turning the cake out onto a large piece of parchment paper. Roll the parchment and cake from one short end to the other and let cool.
5. 5 While the cake is cooling, place chocolate for buttercream in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
6. 6 Beat softened butter in a bowl until light and creamy. Add powdered sugar in small increments, beating between each addition. Add melted chocolate and beat until well combined.
7. 7 Carefully unroll the cooled sponge cake. Spread a thin layer of buttercream across the top to the edges. Firmly roll back up, using parchment to help you, into a tight roll.
8. 8 At one end of the roll, cut off a diagonal slice to represent a branch, about 2 inches in length at the longest side. Frost the entire roll with buttercream. Use a palette knife to create uneven ridges to represent tree bark. Position the branch somewhere near the center of the log and cover with buttercream.
9. 9 Drag the tines of a fork lengthwise across the buttercream to create an extra bark effect. Dust the entire log with cocoa powder.

Ingredients

• ✓ powdered sugar
• cocoa powder
• raspberry
• dark chocolate chip
• heavy cream
• egg
• all-purpose flour
• kosher salt
• water
• butter
• butter
• milk
• egg yolk
• egg
• kosher salt
• cornstarch
• white sugar
• vanilla bean

Instructions

1. 1 Prepare the pastry cream: Cut vanilla bean in half crosswise, then cut a slit lengthwise down each half. Use the edge of the knife to scrape out all the seeds. Discard the pods or reserve for another use.
2. 2 Combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg, egg yolks, milk, and vanilla seeds in a saucepan; whisk until well combined.
3. 3 Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom surface of the pan, until thick, about 10 minutes.
4. 4 Remove from the heat and whisk to release some steam. Add butter and keep stirring until melted. Pass through a fine sieve to remove any fibrous bits from the vanilla pod. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pastry cream to cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 to 3 hours.
5. 5 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
6. 6 Combine butter, water, and salt for the pate choux in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon until a buttery dough forms. Continue to cook and stir until a starchy film forms on the bottom of the pan. Turn off the heat and continue stirring for 1 more minute.
7. 7 Transfer to a bowl. Add one egg and mix it in with a little dough. Once that's incorporated, mix it in with the remaining dough. Repeat with the second egg. Continue stirring until you have a very sticky dough. Use a spatula to clean off the whisk if necessary.
8. 8 Transfer the dough into a pastry bag and snip off the tip making a ½-inch opening. Pipe two 6-inch heart shapes on the prepared baking sheet. Start by making thin shapes and then pipe extra dough to make them thicker. To fine-tune the hearts, dip your fingers in water and fix any imperfections if desired.
9. 9 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned, about 30 minutes. Turn off the heat, leave the pastries in the oven, and prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon. Let sit until crispy and dried out, about 1 hour.
10. 10 Use a serrated knife to slice the hearts in half horizontally.
11. 11 Remove pastry cream from the refrigerator and transfer to a pastry bag. Generously pipe cream into the bottom half of each heart, then place the top halves on the cream.
12. 12 Heat cream in a saucepan until simmering.
13. 13 Place chocolate chips in a small bowl and pour hot cream over top. Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes, then whisk until chocolate has melted and ganache is thick and shiny. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
14. 14 Spoon ganache on top of each heart. Reserve any remaining ganache for another use. Refrigerate éclairs until the ganache is firm, about 15 minutes.
15. 15 Place éclairs on serving plates. Fill the center of each heart with raspberries and sift cocoa powder over top. Sift powdered sugar over just the raspberries and serve. (Each éclair is enough for two people.)

• vanilla extract
• vanilla bean
• egg
• egg yolk
• butter
• sugar
• nutmeg
• salt
• baking powder
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
2. 2 Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a bowl until well combined.
3. 3 Cream together white sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in egg yolks and beat until incorporated. Add in whole eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat mixture on medium-high speed until very fluffy, and mixture has lightened in color, 3 to 5 minutes more.
4. 4 Slice vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Use the back of a knife to scrape seeds out of both halves, and add seeds to the butter mixture. Set vanilla bean pod aside to use for the frosting. Mix vanilla bean seeds into the butter mixture on low speed until incorporated.
5. 5 Add vanilla and almond extracts to the batter and mix on low speed until incorporated. Pour in half of the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add milk and sour cream and mix until combined. Pour in remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide batter evenly between the cake pans and smooth into even layers.
6. 6 Place pans into the preheated oven and bake until centers of the cakes spring back lightly when touched, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cakes to cool in pans for 15 minutes before running a knife carefully around the edges of the pans to loosen. Transfer cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. 7 While cakes are in the oven, begin making the frosting. Add reserved vanilla bean pod to a small saucepan and pour in heavy cream. Place pan over low heat and cook until mixture is just warm, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and allow mixture to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing into the refrigerator until chilled, about 30 minutes more.
8. 8 When heavy cream mixture is chilled, finish the frosting. Place 1 cup butter into a large bowl and beat on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Mix in powdered sugar gradually, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
9. 9 Remove vanilla bean pod from chilled heavy cream. Discard vanilla bean pod. Pour heavy cream into the butter-powdered sugar mixture. Add in vanilla extract and salt. Beat mixture on low speed until cream is incorporated, then turn mixer speed up to medium-high and continue to beat until frosting is light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes more.
10. 10 Pipe a layer of frosting to the top of one of the cakes and set 2nd cake on top. Frost cake as desired with remaining frosting.
