Pupils from St Lukes School, Herts, show how to make a Christmas Yule Log.

The Yule Log is a traditional recipe. On Christmas Eve, families went into the woods to find and cut a great tree. The Yule tree had to burn throughout the twelve days of Christmas. Once cut, the log was dragged home. It was believed to bring good luck in the new year.

• 20g (1oz) cocoa
• 2 eggs

Filling:

• 25g (1oz) margarine
• 150g (6oz) cooking chocolate

• Weighing Scales
• Mixing Bowl
• Wooden Spoon

• Whisk
• Baking Tray
• Greaseproof Paper

Always wash your hands before preparing food.

I think I might just make a log this year, was going to make a large chocolate cake for my boys and an apircot loaf for me. I think they will get a log instead. I'm not too keen on sweet stuff so one piece of chocolate cake is my limit I let them eat the rest, also I hate buttercream yuck. I do like apircot loaf though as it is very fragrant and fruity
