Buche de noel Christmas cake (Yule Log)

                                                 

It's Christmas time~~!! Still, we are having an unusual holiday due to the pandemic - we need to be careful of crowdedness and safety is the priority. So this year, we decided to celebrate Christmas by ourselves (again like last year) and virtually hang out with our friends and family in South Korea and Turkey. 

This year's special Christmas dessert is Buche de Noel. Buche de Noel is often served in many European countries such as Switzerland, France, and Belgium. Also, this cake can be found in South Korea! South Korean are obsessed with Christmas cakes, so when the Christmas season is approaching, people can easily find a variety of cakes from all over the world. 

I love baking but I am not a professional baker. I am more a freestyle amateur - change ingredients based on my style. 😜Sometimes, my friends ask if I could just follow the original ingredients so that they can enjoy enough sweetness. Will try!

Then, let's start! 

(1) Ganache (make this first because it needs some time to get solid)

  • Half cup of Heavy Cream
  • Half cup of Semi sweet Chocolate

  1. Put the heavy cream and chocolate in a bowl and microwave for 40 seconds. 
  2. Mix well with a spoon and store at room temperature.


(2) Cake sheets

  • Four eggs - four egg whites and three egg yolk (so I cooked an omelet using one egg yolk before baking)
  • 3 Table Spoons of Sugar
  • 2.5 Table Spoons of Flour
  • 2.5 Table Spoons of Corn Starch
  • 4 Table Spoons of Cocoa Powder

     1. Divide the sugar three times and mix it with the egg white to make a meringue. 
                                                              
      2. Add egg yolk to the meringue and mix well. 
                                                              

     3. Sift the powders through a sieve and mix well.
                                                               

     4. Lay parchment paper on a square pan and spread the prepared batter evenly.   
                                                               
       5. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.
       6. Place on a cooling rack and let cool until the temperature drops      

                                             

(3) Chocolate Filling Cream

  • 1 Cup of Heavy Cream
  • 3 Table Spoon of Cocoa Powder
  • 3 Table Spoon of Powdered Sugar

1. Sift the powder ingredients into Heavy Cream then whip them up. 

2. Spread filling cream on top of the cake sheet

3. Using parchment paper, roll it up then rest in the refrigerator for over 30 minutes. 



    

(4) Ganache Decoration

1. First, cut the edge of the rolled cake to make a log shape.

2. Then assemble like the photo below. 


3. Apply ganache cream to make each part stick to the other. Using a folk, create a log pattern. 


4. Decorate with fruits to give it a Christmas feel. 


Yummy~~!😘😘

Developing latent constructs of dialogic interaction to examine the epistemic climate: Rasch modeling

Yejun Bae | Gavin W. Fulmer | Brian M. Hand School Science and Mathematics | DOI: 10.1111/ssm.12460   ABSTRACT This study investigates two latent constructs (Engagement and Value) of dialogic interaction to examine the epistemic climate. Since the new reform movement emphasizes creating generative learning environments, it is important to examine whether a classroom promotes students’ knowledge generation or limit students’ epistemicgrowth through rote memorization. At this point, it is inevitable to focus on dialogic interaction (one of the epistemic practices), because how students engage with and view dialogic interaction provides meaningful information about the epistemic climate. By employing Rasch modeling, this study tested a statistical validity of two latent constructs of dialogic interaction. The findings in this study highlight that the two latent constructs are theoretically and statistically valid and can be used to gauge the epistemic climate through students’ en...

Publishing articles from Your Dissertation

For early-career researchers/faculty, a dissertation is the most promising source to increase the number of publications. But, when it comes to publishing peer-reviewed journal articles, whoever already experienced writing journal articles will definitely agree that publishing articles requires almost the same amount of effort as writing the dissertation.  Sine 2018, I have worked on publishing articles from my dissertation, and finally, by 2021, I got two papers published...See?! It takes almost four years! One of the advantages that I got was I already made my dissertation in a two-paper format. There are two types of dissertations..(or possibly several types); one is a traditional five-chapter format (Introduction-Literature Review-Method-Results-Discussion) and the other is a combined journal article format (Introduction-Paper 1-Paper 2-Paper 3...-Conclusion).   I chose a combined journal article format because my research interests were a general classroom climate wh...
