Buche de Noel

I have always tried to stick closely to Mary's recipes, after all, that was what the challenge was about. However, for this recipe I had to make quite a big change. I do feel slightly guilty about this. I used Mary's swiss roll recipe,but the icing was out of Nigella's Christmas book! I guess that is called a Marella recipe!
The reason for this detour was because I couldn't get hold of any unsweetened chestnut puree for the filling. I wasn't actually that disappointed about this as I didn't think the kids would really like it. Also the buche de noel recipe had a topping of whipped cream, and I really wanted to serve this as a cake rather than a pudding. I made it on Sunday afternoon, before our guests came round.
It didn't last long, in fact the whole thing went in the evening!  It was delicious and  scored it 8.5
