Ingredients Needed
In order to make this yule log cake, you will need the following ingredients: one box of vanilla cake mix, two cans of cream cheese frosting, one cup of melted butter, one cup of sugar, four eggs, and one teaspoon of vanilla.
Preparing the Cake Batter
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until a smooth batter forms. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter, and spread the batter evenly in the pan.
Baking the Cake
Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before you begin assembling the yule log.
Assembling the Yule Log
Once the cake has cooled, spread one can of cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake. Roll the cake up into a log shape, and spread the remaining can of frosting over the outside of the cake. Decorate the cake with festive sprinkles, and top with a sprig of holly or a festive ribbon.
