Method

  1. To make the Tiramisu and Nutella Yule Log, take a medium bowl and beat the eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer until light and foamy.
  2. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder directly into the mixture and fold gently so it doesn’t deflate. Add the coffee as well and stir again to combine.
  3. Take a sheet pan, line it with parchment paper and pour in the batter, spreading it evenly and leveling the surface well. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (400 °F) for about 8 minutes, or until the sponge is fully cooked.

  4. Take the sponge out of the oven, turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel and very gently peel off the parchment paper. Roll the sponge up on itself, cover it with plastic wrap so it holds its shape and let it rest for about 20 minutes.

  5. Shortly before the sponge has finished resting, make the cream. In a medium bowl, whip the mascarpone and the cream with the coffee using an electric mixer.

  6. Take the sponge, unroll it and spread it with an even layer of Nutella and a layer of the coffee whipped cream. Roll it up again, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for another 15 minutes.
