mushrooms from <a href="https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/meringue-mushrooms-recipe">https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/meringue-mushrooms-recipe</a><br />
<br />
Cake<br />
3 egg whites<br />
2 tablespoons white sugar<br />
<br />
3 egg yolks<br />
1/4 cup sugar<br />
<br />
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons cocoa powder<br />
3/4 teaspoon vanilla<br />
1/4 teaspoon espresso powder (new addition)<br />
1/8 teaspoon salt<br />
<br />
<br />
Filling (half this next time)<br />
1 cup heavy cream<br />
1/4 cup powdered sugar<br />
1/4 cup cocoa powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon vanilla<br />
<br />
Buttercream Frosting<br />
3 tablespoons cocoa powder<br />
3/4 cup powdered sugar<br />
5 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)<br />
pinch of salt<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons cream or milk (additional teaspoons as needed)<br />
1/4 tsp vanilla<br />
<br />
Make Cake<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>In your stand mixer, beat egg whites with whisk attachment until soft peaks form</li>
<li>Slowly add in 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Whisk until stiff peaks. Set aside.</li>
<li>Add egg yolks and 1/4 cup of sugar to empty mixer bowl. Whisk until thick and pale in color.</li>
<li>Add cocoa, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt. Slowly mis together, then increase speed. Whisk until combined.</li>
<li>Add the stiff peaked egg whites into the yolks. Don't crush the air out. Add in about 2 tablespoons of whites and mix together. Add in about half the remaining whites and gently fold until completely combined. Add in remaining whites and gently fold until just combined.</li>
<li>Pour into a parchment lined half of a 10x15" baking sheet with an aluminum foil dam in the middle.</li>
<li>Bake at 375 for 10-14 minutes. Bubbles should be formed evenly through the whole surface, top will be dry, and the edges will have begun to pull away slightly.</li>
<li>Removed cake from oven. Invert onto clean piece of parchment. Roll cake into a log. Set on wire rack seam down to cool for approximately 20-30 minutes.</li>
</ol>
<div>
While Cake Bakes--</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Make Whipped Cream Filling<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Whisk cream, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla until fully whipped. (Just make this in the same mixing bowl as above!)</li>
<li>Scrape out bowl and set aside.</li>
</ol>
Make Buttercream Frosting<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>(Yep, in the same mixing bowl.) On the lowest level, combine cocoa powder and powdered sugar. (This should bust up any lumps, preventing the need to sift.)</li>
<li>Add butter and salt. Slowly mix to combine, then increase speed to begin whipping. </li>
<li>Once fully-ish combined, add in 1 1/2 teaspoons cream and vanilla. Continue to whisk. If needed for texture, add additional milk/cream 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency (I added 2 extra teaspoons).</li>
</ol>
<div>
Assemble the Bûche</div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Gently unroll the mostly cool cake. </li>
<li>Layer on the whipped cream filling, spreading evenly across cake.</li>
<li>Gently re-roll the cake into a roll.</li>
<li>Frost the exterior of the bûche with the buttercream. Drag a fork through the frosting to add tree bark texture.</li>
<li>Chill cake for best shape when cutting. </li>
</ol>
