Yule Log with Coconut Sugar, Chestnuts Whipping Cream and Frosting Fruits

 Festive looking, exceptionally satisfying, Yule Log is traditionally served for Christmas. This is perhaps the most glorified dessert for the Christmas tea table.
                                  You need:
  = 4 Eggs
= White soft wheat "00" Farina flour - 1 Cup ( This is the only recipe I use white wheat flour. At the same time, Soft wheat flour is still better than 'All purpose", as it has less amount of gluten-forming protein with a high amount of starch and it is better to use for light cake)
= Coconut Sugar - 120g or 8 Table spoons
= Butter, unsalted - 4 Tablespoons (1 Tablespoon per Egg is max. You can put 3 Tbsp instead of 4 Tablespoons)
= Salt, a pinch
= Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
= Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
= Cacao, unsweetened - 1 Tablespoon
= Baking Cookies Sheet
~~ Preheat oven to 350F (175C) ~~
~~ Prepare baking sheet. Crease with butter and cover with Parchment paper.~~
 == Sift the flour into the mixing bowl. Add a pinch of Salt and Cinnamon. Mix. Put aside.
 == Melt the Butter and leave it to cool
 == Whisk 4 eggs and Coconut Sugar to the ribbon ( It means, when you whisk, it forms the "ribbon" like when you hold and lift the whisk. With white sugar it is easier to do, but with Coconut Sugar to make this "ribbon" is possible too). Add Vanilla Extract.
== Add and FOLD the Flour (with a pinch of salt and Cinnamon added) gradually, in 3 batches. This is a very important step. Do not just mix the flour with ingredients, but FOLD it gently and neatly.

== With a last batch of Flour add Cacao powder. Fold it into the mixture.
 == The last step. Add melted Butter and fold it gently into the mixture.

== Pour the dough into the prepared backing sheet. Spread it evenly.
== Bake for 15-20 minutes. It is ready when the edges are firm. Do not over-bake.
 == Here is a very Important trick to roll the cake ==
** When ready, cool the cake, just enough to the touch.    
** Place on the slightly dump clean towel.
**  Roll and unroll the cake along with towel several times.
** Peel off parchment paper and leave the cake on parchment paper.


== Spread evenly some portion of Chestnuts Whipping Cream Carefully roll the cake as tightly as possibly.
== Cover the cake with the rest of Chestnuts Whipping Cream Sprinkle the rolled cake with grated Chocolate and decorate with Frosting Fruits

 Enjoy and Be always Healthy:)
