Bûche de Noël, an homage to the yule log in velvety rich chocolate form, is a welcome if not essential holiday treat in many homes. A thick and luscious layer of dense chocolate sponge cake is wrapped around a layer of mouse or chantilly cream, dusted with cocoa powder, and often finished with chocolate ganache and meringue or marzipan mushrooms. Decadent doesn't even begin to describe the dessert and we're fortunate that this sort of a treat is a once-a-year affair - reserved for the solstice or for Christmas.
