Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20cm (8 inch) rectangular baking dish with parchment paper.
Tip: To prevent the log from breaking, ensure the parchment paper is large enough to cover the entire dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Tip: Use a clean whisk to prevent any lumps from forming.
- 3
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl after each addition.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture, then pour in the milk. Beat until smooth.
Tip: Don't overmix, as this can lead to a dense log.

Melt the ruby chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.
Tip: If using the microwave, be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
- 6
Pour the melted chocolate into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Tip: Use a gentle touch to avoid creating air pockets in the chocolate.
- 7
Refrigerate the log for at least 2 hours or until firm. Once set, slice and serve.
Tip: You can decorate the log with festive sprinkles or holly sprigs before serving.

To assemble the yule log, place the sliced log on a serving plate and dust with confectioners' sugar.
