Chocolate & Chestnut Buche

Traditionally Buche de Noel was made with genoise sponge, rolled and decorated with buttercream to resemble a log. In more recent years, with the adaption of moulds for pâtisserie, the buche has evolved to become a modern patisserie-style entremet. Originally it was an actual log of wood that was burned as a celebration of winter solstice. During the 1700s the Buche de Noel was invented in Paris.
