Now it is time to prepare the cake. Cut the cake so you have two pieces for layers in the cake and a bid part that will cover the cake.
Place the part that will cover the cake in a bûche cake form. The cake will be upside down.
Add half of the dark chocolate mousse on the bottom. Place the middle layer of the cake bottom on top of the dark chocolate mousse.
Place the white chocolate mousse on top of the cake layer. Place the bottom layer on top of the white chocolate mousse.
On top of the bottom layer place the plate you will use to serv it on. Hold on tight and turn the cake upside down so the cake is standing on the serving plate.
Take away the bûche form and spread evenly the rest of the dark chocolate mousse all over the cake.
As decoration you can make it look like a log and even place some small Christmas decorations on top.

This recipe is from
France
This is more of a mingle food than a typical soft bread. It is salty thanks to the ham and olives. If you cut the bread in small cubes it is better served as a starter or a side dish than on the breakfast table. It is possible to change to black olives if you prefer it over the green ones.
This sweet bread is called pains au lait and is a French bread served for breakfast. The bread is soft on both the inside and the outside, not as other french bread with a relatively hard surface. It fits good together with some salted butter or sweet jam. Can be served as a starter or to bring on a picnic.
Choucroute is a traditional dish from Alsace in France, and it is a winter dish because it is rather heavy. You boil the sauerkraut with dry white wine and goose or pork fat, and then served together with sausages, salty meat, and potatoes. This recipe is not a traditional one because it do not have any ham or Strasbourg sausages, instead the choucroute is served with merguez and Montbéliard sausages to give it a bit stronger taste.
