Chestnut & honey bûche de Noël

Talk about a French holiday classic!

Ingredients (serves 6)
100 g (⅔ cup) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
3 eggs

60 g (¼ cup) sugar
30 cl (1¼ cup) water
3 Tbsp rum
200 g (7oz) chestnut spread
2 Tbsp crème fraîche

4 Tbsp acacia honey
50 g (2 oz) candied chestnuts in syrup

Directions
Preheat oven to 240°C (460°F).
Mix flour, baking powder, eggs and half of sugar. Line a large rectangular oven tray with parchment paper, then spread mixture evenly on it. Bake 7-10 minutes, until it has a nice golden color.
Remove from oven. Roll tightly with parchment paper and maintain with elastic bands. Let cool.
In a saucer pan bring water and other half of sugar to a boil to make a syrup, then remove from heat and add rum. Let cool.
In a bowl mix chestnut spread and crème fraîche.
Unroll biscuit delicately and apply syrup evenly with a brush. Spread chestnut spread mixture evenly then roll again without parchment paper. Cut the ends of the bûche diagonally.
Heat honey, then pour delicately on the bûche with a spoon.
Decorate with marrons glacés cut in pieces.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
