Ingredients

    200g of caster sugar  

   265g of plain flour  

   35g of cocoa powder &amp; 70g for the icing  

   1 tsp of bicarbonate of soda  

   100ml of vegetable oil  

   200ml of water &amp; 5 tbsp for the icing  

   50ml of lemon juice  

   180g of vegan spread  

   700g of icing sugar &amp; extra for dusting  

   1 bar of dark chocolate for shavings  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

Preheat the oven to 160°C (Fan).



 Step 2 

In the large mixing bowl, combine the caster sugar, flour, bicarbonate of soda and 35g of cocoa powder.



 Step 3 

Add in the vegetable oil, 200ml of water and lemon juice and mix with the whisk until no lumps remain. Pour the batter into the lined baking tray and spread evenly using the palette knife or back of a spoon before placing in the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes, rotating half way through.



 Step 4 

While the sponge is baking, make the buttercream by combining the vegan spread, 700g of icing sugar, 70g of cocoa powder and 5 tbsp of water in a large mixing bowl, whisking until smooth.



 Step 5 

Once the sponge is baked, allow to cool in the baking tray. Place a sheet of parchment over the top of the sponge, then place your large chopping board or cooling rack (upside down) on top of the parchment. Flip the whole thing over and remove the baking tray and the parchment from the base of the sponge.



 Step 6 

Take your buttercream and spread it evenly over the surface of sponge, then using the parchment underneath to help, roll up the sponge from one shorter edge to the other.



 Step 7 

Place your rolled-up sponge on your chosen serving platter then use the remaining buttercream to cover the outside in a rustic fashion, either with a palette knife or the back of a spoon.



 Step 8 

Hold the bar of dark chocolate above the yule log and run the peeler backwards and forwards along the edge to create chocolate shavings, guiding them to fall evenly over the top of the log.



 Step 9 

Dust with icing sugar and serve.
