⏱️Total Time: 2 hr.
🔥 400°F

Ingredients:
5 eggs
¾ cup flour
⅔ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tub vanilla frosting
1½ cups chocolate ganache
powdered sugar, for dusting

1. Prep the batter
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In one bowl, separate the egg whites and whip them until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until it reaches a smooth consistency. Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites along with vanilla extract, flour, and cocoa powder.

2. Bake & roll
Spread the batter evenly over the baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 10 minutes. Using a clean kitchen towel, sprinkle a base layer of powdered sugar evenly over the towel and place the cooled sheet cake on top. Lather on vanilla frosting as desired, covering the entire surface of the cake with 1 inch margins at the top and bottom. Roll the cake into a log, then cut a quarter slice diagonally and place it on the side of the larger piece to form the yule log shape.

3. Frost
Cover the log with chocolate ganache and use a fork to create ridges that look like bark. Sprinkle on more powdered sugar for a little snow, and serve!
