Mary Berry's yule log

You can't beat a classic cake - and Mary's crowd pleasing chocolate gâteau makes a wonderful make-ahead dessert for special occasions.

Mary's Black Forest gâteau

150 grams/5½oz caster sugar

grams/3½oz self-raising flour, sifted

grams/1¾oz cocoa powder, sifted

750 milliliters/1⅓ pint double cream, whipped

I just can’t stop making this. A lover of all cheesecakes, in every one of their manifestations, I had – I must admit – neither eaten nor heard of this until a few years ago. It is, I should say, very easy to make. There’s no crust, it’s just a wodge of tangy cheesecake that, although burnt on top, is only barely set in the middle. The hard thing is learning to take it out of the oven when it feels undercooked.

Basque burnt cheesecake

full-fat cream cheese,

caster sugar

free-range eggs,

300 milliliters/10fl oz soured cream,

¼ tsp fine sea salt

cornflour

blackberries

grams/½oz hard pure liquorice pellets

90 grams/3¼oz caster sugar

fine sea salt (optional)

The smooth, creamy liqueur gives this celebration cheesecake the wow factor. Top with grated chocolate and a dusting of cocoa.

Irish cream and chocolate cheesecake

grams/3½oz butter

250 grams/8¾oz digestive biscuits, crushed

cream cheese

milliliters/1fl oz Baileys

milliliters/3½oz icing sugar

300 milliliters/10½oz double cream, whipped

grams/3½oz chocolate

200 milliliters/7¼oz double cream, whipped

cocoa powder, to dust

Here’s an easy molten chocolate pudding that's a real crowd-pleaser. The chocolate sauce gets poured on the top, but miraculously ends up on the bottom. How do they do that?
