Christmas tree cake
Chocolate flavor is one of the main flavors of Christmas cakes. At this moment, almost every family makes chocolate-based cakes. The tree-like cake is the famous French Christmas delicacy. Legend has it that before electricity was invented, the French gave a good firewood as a Christmas gift. The French are romantic by nature, and even the origin of delicious food is romantic: once upon a time, there was a young man who couldn't afford Christmas gifts. He picked up a piece of wood in the forest and gave it to his lover. Not only did he win his heart, but he also rose to fame since then. Therefore, the tree trunk cake has also become a symbol of wishing good luck in the coming year!
