Buche De Noel

"This is a cake dessert. It's shaped into a "log" instead of the classic roundish cake. Its very delicious and when refrigerated for a few hours, it's taste resembles that of an eclair. I used egg replacer instead of eggs (I'm a vegetarian.) and it turned out just fine, for all you vegans out there. You can use any flavoured coffee for this. I used a mocha flavour. Make sure you grease your waxed paper real well, or else you will have trouble removing your baked batter ..."
