YULE LOG (BUCHE DE NOEL) MCCALL'S COOKING SCHOOL
I cut this recipe out of the December 1973 (the month my DS was born) issue of McCall's magazine. If you're a chocolate lover and love to impress people with your artistry, this is the recipe for you! A lot of directions but don't be intimidated, it's actually quite easy. And my kids LOVE it! (Cooking time does not include chilling times.) EDITED TO ADD: After seeing all these lovely photos, I feel like my more simple version looks "under dressed"... I sprinkle powdered sugar over the un-iced "log" and serve whipped cream on the side of each slice.

THE PERFECT CHOCOLATE CAKE
This recipe comes from McCall's Cookbook and my mother made this cake for our family at Christmas time. She's had this recipe since 1982!! It's such a classic. It's wonderful for Christmas, but I think it's great anytime! : ) It's terrific for any special occasion and would make a fabulous Birthday cake for the chocolate lover. It's very chocolatey, but not overly sweet. The cake is made entirely from scratch, but it's really not that complicated. I made it last Christmas and it came out spectacular. NOTE: I have no idea what the exact preparation and cooking times are; it does not state it on the recipe. However, this is not something that can be done on spur of the moment. It's almost like artwork and cannot be rushed. : )
