This year, we hosted Allison’s family Christmas. We cooked a great big turkey, mashed potatoes, peas, and the coup dé grace was the cake Allison made. It’s called a “bûche de Noël”, or “yule log cake”. It’s a sponge cake coated with a Cointreau-cream cheese filling and rolled into a log shape. It was really good. Yay Allison!
As a special bonus, Allison’s grandma was in town. They haven’t seen each other for around 10 years.
