  • 3 cups (150 g) type 00 flour
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
  • 1 tbsp (10 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Red food coloring (liposoluble liquid, gel, or powder), to taste
  • 3 cups (500 g) cream cheese
  • 2/3 cup (150 g) heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp (50 g) wildflower honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 374°F (190°C) and line a 12×16 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, yolks, sugar, and vanilla seeds until frothy. Add red food coloring to achieve desired shade.
  3. Sift in flour and cocoa powder; gently fold to combine.
  4. Spread batter in the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes until set.
  5. Cool completely on parchment before rolling with cream cheese filling.
  6. Cut both ends of the rolled cake diagonally to create branches. Position these pieces on one side of the log to mimic tree branches.
  7. Beat cold butter with powdered sugar until fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract until well combined.
  8. Lightly frost your rolled cake with buttercream frosting. Pipe lines on top for bark texture. Finish by decorating with raspberries, star anise, and dusting with powdered sugar.
