A homemade French buche de Noël with a Scandinavian saffron taste, as saffron is popular for desserts during Christmas. Not the most traditional log you will find but the saffron sponge cake with white and dark chocolate mousse enhances the flavor nicely. If you get some cake bottom left after decoration the log, why not serve it on the side of the cake as small treats.
