HOLIDAY WHISKEY CAKE (MAKE AHEAD)
Like Aunt Martha , Aunt Mary always made this four-layer whiskey cake for Christmas . This was a well kept secret for many years but Aunt Martha gave it to Aunt Mary (sisters) - after that it wasn't a secret anymore.lol Sorry Aunt Mary(RIP) she was always the secret spiller. This cake is dense and heavy, like a fruit cake, with a strong whiskey odor and flavor. So don't overdo it. The whiskey does not cook out in this recipe. DO NOT serve to children or teetotalers or AA members. Otherwise give this "confidential dessert a try!!lol

Steps:
- Cake: Preheat oven to 350^. Spray four round 9-inch cake pans with non stick spray,then fit with parchment paper and spray the paper too, set aside. --- Cream butter and gradually add in sugar. Beat mixture until light and fluffy; mix in vanilla. Still using the electric mixer, slowly add in flour, baking powder, and salt. To keep the batter at a manageable consistency, alternate adding dry ingredients and splashes of milk. Beat batter until smooth.
- In another bowl, beat egg whites with mixer on high until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into cake batter with a spatula. Batter will be very thick.
- Spoon batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean; remove and let stand for 10 minutes before turning cakes out on wire cooling rack.
- Icing: While cake cools; beat egg yolks with a fork and put them in a saucepan with sugar and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes or until sugar is all dissolved and mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining icing ingredients. Let stand until cool. --- Spread cooled icing between cake layers and on top of assembled cake. Place the iced cake in an airtight container for 3 or 4 days to allow it to flavor before serving.

20 HOLIDAY DESSERTS THAT YOU CAN MAKE AHEAD - TASTING TABLE

- Sea Salt Brownie Brittle. Of all the holiday desserts you could make, this sea salt brownie brittle is something of an underdog as it's incredibly easy to prepare and doesn't even require a fridge for storage.
- Decadent Peanut Butter Pie. Peanut butter pie — it's rich, creamy, and delightfully nutty, and it happens to taste best straight from the fridge. This is the type of pie that not only works well as a make-ahead dessert but essentially calls for it — you need to give the pie a solid four hours to set in the fridge, though you can easily leave it to chill for several days.
- Peppermint Bark. If a dessert features peppermint flavor and is, better yet, adorned with red and white peppermint candy, then you already know it belongs on a holiday spread.
- Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Fudge. Fudge can come in all sorts of flavor varieties, with most of them focusing on milk or dark chocolate. This fudge recipe does indeed feature white chocolate, though the main flavor profile is peanut butter, making for the ultimate treat for those who love nutty desserts.
- Best Eggnog Cake. Eggnog is a spiced, creamy beverage that certainly sees a spike in popularity when the holidays roll around, but why limit your consumption of it to just liquid form?
