Gingerbread Buche de Noel

There is no Tuesday with Dorie scheduled for this week, so instead, I will share my Gingerbread Buche de Noel that I made from Baking Chez Moi for my choir’s end of year  lunch.

I  made this recipe for TWD in 2014, so it is fun to revisit it all these years later.

This is the gingerbread sponge roll pre-filling:

and being rolled up with the pecan praline-studded filling inside:

and the snowy-frosting coated, praline studded final product:

It was just as big a hit now as it was then. I only have a photo of a half slice:

However, you can see all the marvellous complexities of this dessert.

If you are keen to try it and don’t have the book, the recipe is online here.
