This rolled Christmas log recipe is simple and fail-proof. Very few ingredients, not very technical, a very soft sponge which won’t break when you roll it up, and very versatile to suit your taste. The log can be made for the following day which will give the sponge the time needed to soak up the syrup and become nice and soft. This recipe uses a 30x40cm baking tray.
