Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I'll never forget the numerous pastry shop windows I'd walk past while living in Paris that had Bûche de Noël, a traditional Christmas cake served during the holidays in France and several christian-populated francophone countries, such as Canada (Quebec). "Bûche" in English means "log;" hence, the shape of the cake. It's often a sponge cake filled with chocolate buttercream. After living in Paris, I became fascinated by the different takes not just on the Bûche de Noël, but on the Christmas cake. It seems to me that nearly every family has their own traditional cake that they bake for the holidays.
Below are 8 fabulously festive cakes for this holiday season:
- Christmas gingerbread cake with maple whipped cream
- Black forest chocolate torte
- Orange spice cake with white chocolate poinsettia topper
- Chocolate fruit cake
- Chocolate spice-cake poudding
- Crunchy milk-chocolate peanut butter layer cake
- Caramel-pecan Bûche de Noël
- Pecan spice layer cake with cheese cream frosting
