- 1/4 cup of confectioners’ sugar

- 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup of chocolate chips

Instructions
To make this classic Yule log cake, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) baking pan. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt and add to the creamed mixture, beating until everything is well combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and let cool completely. While the cake is cooling, make the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and heavy cream and mix until smooth. Stir in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips.
To assemble the cake, place the cooled cake onto a flat surface. Spread the filling evenly over the top of the cake. Roll the cake up, starting at one of the long sides. Place the log on a serving plate and sprinkle with the ground cinnamon. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
