Every Christmas growing up this is the “buche” or Christmas log my grandmother would make. It’s a cross between several Austrian recipes & a Julia Child butter cream….two words best describe it: decadent & delicious! It takes several hours to make, so patience is required, but the finished product will be the talk of many more Christmases to come! <br /> <br />There are 3 parts to making this cake, first you must make a genoise, or a sponge sheet cake, then a coffee butter cream & then a chocolate butter cream to mimic the effects of a log…
