Christmas Cake
Christmas is coming. This year, are you going to eat any Christmas cake? If you’d like to eat some, what kind of cake will you choose? There are many kinds of Christmas cake in the world.
In Japan, the most popular Christmas cake is sponge cake with whipped cream or butter cream, decorated with strawberry, chocolate, a little Santa Claus, and a Christmas tree made of sugar. Some of the Japanese and Korean Christmas cakes have candles that are similar to those on a birthday cake, but European and American people don’t have the habit of putting candles on Christmas cake. Ice cake (it is a cake made of only ice cream) is also a popular Christmas cake in Japan.
Bûche de noël is a French Christmas cake. It is called Yule log or chocolate log in English. Noël means Christ mas, and Bûche means log in french. Bûche de noël is not so difficult to make for us. Cover uncut rollcake with butter cream mixed with cocoa, and draw the pattern of a log on it by using a fork, and decorate it with chocolate for tree branches and whipped cream for snow.
Christmas Pudding is a tradittional Christmas sweet in Britain and Ireland. It is steamed cake with dry fruit, nuts, rum or brandy, and spice. Many households have their own recipe for Christmas pudding, often handed down in the family.
Stollen is a German traditional bread-like cake. It is usually eaten during the Christmas season. It is named Stollen because it looks like a tunnel. Powdered sugar is sprinkled on it to seem that baby Jesus Christ is wrapped in swaddling clothes, suitable for a newborn baby. Stollen is more popular than Christmas cake for Germans.
Panettone is a typical cake of Milan. It is usually prepared and enjoyed for Christmas, and it is also made for Easter. It is a type of bread with dry fruits, for example raisins, plums, and orange peels. Panettone means big bread. Panettone can stay for about six months, so people eat it not only on Christmas but also throughout the winter.
