When you mix the two together, they can react and condense into one molecule. Adding base (such as NaOH) to an aldehyde or ketone will generate a little bit of enolate, which can reaction with another carbonyl molecule. This reaction is called the aldol condensation

Dear student 
The Cannizzaro reaction is when a non-enolizable aldehyde reacts with itself in a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), to form a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
Good Luck
