Before you jump to Yule Log Cake recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Make Healthy Eating A Part of Your Daily Life.

The benefits of healthy eating are now being given more attention than ever before and there are good reasons why this is so. Poor diet is a contributing factor in health problems such as heart disease and hypertension which can put a drain on the economy. While we’re always being encouraged to adopt healthy eating habits, it is also easier than ever to depend on fast food and other convenience items that are not good for us. Most likely, a lot of people assume that it takes a great deal of work to eat healthily and that they will have to drastically alter their way of life. In reality, however, merely making some small changes can positively affect daily eating habits.

These sorts of changes can be done with all sorts of foods and can apply to the oils you cook in and the spread you use on bread. For example, monounsaturated fat such as olive oil can be helpful in offsetting the bad cholesterol in your diet. Olive oil can also be beneficial for your skin because it is a great source of vitamin E. Even though you may already eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, you may want to consider how fresh they are. Organic foods are a superb alternative and will reduce any possible exposure to deadly chemical substances. Finding a local supplier of fresh produce will give you the option of consuming foods that still contain almost all of the nutrients which are oftentimes lost when produce has been kept in storage before it is sold.

To sum up, it is easy to begin to make healthy eating a part of your daily lifestyle.

Instructions to make Yule Log Cake:
  1. FOR CAKE : Heat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter 12 x 14 inches jelly roll pan and line bottom and sides with 1 sheet of parchment paper. Butter the paper and dust with additional flour and  knock out excess flour.
  2. Separate the eggs in two clean bowls and let it sit for 30 minutes to get to room temperature. (Using cold eggs aids easier separation and lesser chance of breakage of yolk)
  3. Beat together yolks, vanilla, and 2/3 cup sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until thick and pale and mixture forms a ribbon that takes 2 seconds to dissolve when beaters are lifted. Takes about 5-8 minutes.
  4. Sift half of flour over yolks and fold it in gently but thoroughly, then sift and fold in remaining flour.
  5. At this point melt the butter in microwave for 30-45 seconds and keep aside.
  6. Beat whites with salt and cream of tartar in a large metal bowl with cleaned beaters at medium speed until they just hold soft peaks. Beat in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, and continue to beat until whites just hold stiff peaks.
  7. Fold 1/4 of whites into yolk mixture to lighten, then fold in remaining whites in batches gently but thoroughly. Do not stir, for the cake to be light and airy it's important to fold in the egg whites gradually.
  8. Stir 1/2 cup batter into melted butter in a small bowl until combined, then fold butter mixture into batter gently but thoroughly.
  9. Spread batter evenly in sheet pan and tap once on counter to help eliminate air bubbles.
  10. Bake until top of cake springs back when gently pressed with finger, 9 to 12 minutes. (It took 12 minutes in my microwave oven's convection mode)
  11. Sift top of hot cake evenly with confectioners' sugar and cover cake with a clean kitchen towel, followed by a baking sheet. Holding sheet and cake pan together with oven mitts, flip cake onto cloth on baking sheet. Carefully peel off and discard parchment paper.
  12. With a long side nearest you and using towel as an aid, roll up cake in towel, jelly-roll style, keeping it wrapped in towel. Cool cake completely, seam-side down in towel, on a rack.
  13. FOR FILLING:  Chill the Bowl and beater blades for 5 - 10 minutes
  14. To the chopped strawberries add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, mix well and keep aside
  15. Pour in the cream and beat until soft peaks form. Add in vanilla at this point.
  16. Slowly add in the remaining 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form
  17. FOR CHOCOLATE CREAM: Chill the Bowl and beater blades for 5- 10 minutes.
  18. Mix the cocoa powder and powdered sugar and keep aside
  19. Pour in the cream and beat until soft peaks form.
  20. Add 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of cocoa, sugar mixture and beat util stiff peaks form.
  21. YULE LOG ASSEMBLY: Gently unroll cooled cake on a baking sheet, keeping it a baking sheet, such that the long side of cake that was inside roll is nearest to you.
  22. Spread filling with offset spatula evenly over cake, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around.  spread the chopped strawberries evenly.
  23. Starting from long side nearest you, roll up cake, leaving it seam-side down on baking sheet. Gently brush off any excess confectioners' sugar.
  24. Cut a 1 1/2-inch-long diagonal slice from each end of roll and reserve.
  25. Transfer the cake gently, using spatulas as aids, seam-side down on platter/ cake board. Using the cream as "glue," attach end pieces, diagonal sides down, on the sides of log to resemble branches.
  26. Spread the chocolate cream all over the roll and branches with offset spatula and even it out. Using a fork gently create ripples to resemble tree bark.
  27. Cover and cool the cake in fridge.
  28. Dust a little powdered sugar right before serving to resemble snow on the log
