Nicole's Buche de Noel

A holiday coffee cake recipe that can be made year round. Ice cream is a perfect compliment to this delicious coffee cake recipe. Bring it to your co-workers and they will love you for it.

Notes


  • This is a very good recipe for a vertical layer cake.

     

  • After the cake has cooled cut it into 3 3-1/2" wide strips. Fill then roll in one continous strip, turn sideways so you have a 3-1/2" high cake. Frost as usual.

     

  • This looks like a regular 2 layer cake until you cut into it.
