Secrets to Icebox Yule Log Cake

No need to say bah, humbug, when it comes to making holiday treats. If you have time to construct a showstopper dessert this season, knock yourself out, but if you need a break from baking, our Icebox Peppermint Yule Log Cake fits the bill beautifully.

The yule log cake may look like an all-day project (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but this dessert doesn’t require any baking. Just another sweet holiday surprise from America’s Test Kitchen to yours.
