Description
This chocolate Bûche de Noël is a showstopping holiday centerpiece that tastes as good as it looks. Pastry chef Lasheeda Perry, also known as the Queen of Flavor, pulls out all the stops: a deeply chocolatey cake that won't crack as you roll it; a luscious holiday-spiced ganache that's soft but stays put; and, of course, plenty of decorations, including tempered chocolate bark, meringue mushrooms, and matcha moss. Be sure to let your guests get a good look — and plenty of photos — before you start serving: Once you slice it, we guarantee the whole cake will be devoured in no time. Learn how to make it from Lasheeda herself in our Bûche de Noël on-demand baking class.This recipe was one of our Bake of the Week features for December 2025.
