What do pavlova, cheesecake and trifle have in common? The answer is easy; they’re staple desserts of an Australian Christmas. Other countries also have favourite Christmas desserts and some of them have spread from their country of origin to become popular around the world. Arguably one of the most famous of these is the Bûche de Noël. Originating in France, this popular log-shaped sponge cake is also known as a Yule Log, and it is steeped in history.
