The traditional&nbsp;B\u00fbche de No\u00ebl is a Christmas dessert served in France, made of sponge cake to resemble a miniature yule log. The classic flavours include a vanilla sponge cake with chocolate frosting or a chocolate sponge cake with chocolate frosting. However, this modern&nbsp;B\u00fbche de No\u00ebl is a gingerbread spiced sponge cake, filled with vanilla whipped cream &amp; frosted with a light chocolate spiced frosting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2657\" src=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-330x495.jpg 330w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-690x1035.jpg 690w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-1050x1575.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-387x580.jpg 387w, https:\/\/french-barn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/gingerbread-yule-log-cake-i-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is a gorgeous dessert to serve at any holiday gathering! I make the sponge cake &amp; filling the day before, roll it up tight so it can rest in the fridge. Once it sits rolled up overnight, it is very easy to frost.
