Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
¾ cup ground pecans
½ cup cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 egg yolks, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk, lukewarm
3 egg whites, room temperature
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup heavy whipping cream
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
½ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and line with parchment two 9 inch round pans.
  • Combine the crumbs, 1/2 cup pecans, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and the light brown sugar until fluffy. Slowly beat in the egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in the vanilla. Alternately add the milk and the crumb mixture while beating on low.
  • Beat the egg whites in a bowl until foamy. Add the sugar slowly, and beat to soft peaks. Fold into the crumb batter, and pour into the pans.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool in the pans on a rack about 10 minutes, then invert and cool completely.
  • To Make Frosting: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoon sugar until it turns golden. Remove from heat, and add 4 tablespoons of the butter; swirl. Whisk in the dark brown sugar, and place back on the heat. Bring to a boil, stirring all the time. Add the cream, and bring back to a boil. Boil 1 minute, and remove caramel from heat.
  • Place the confectioners' sugar in a large bowl, and mixing on medium speed, slowly drizzle in the caramel. Beat until the bottom of the bowl is just barely warm, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1 1/4 cups butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Beat until smooth, and chill frosting until ready to ice the cake. Frost the cake, and press the pecans into the sides.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

14.4 ounces graham crackers (1 box, divided)
1 cup butter (melted)
1 cup sugar
½ cup milk
1 egg (beaten)
1½ cups sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped nuts (we used walnuts)
1 cup graham cracker crumbs ( (from the box listed above))
½ cup butter (room temperature)
2 Tablespoons heavy cream (or milk)
1¾ cups powdered sugar (more or less if needed)
1 teaspoon vanilla
⅛ teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with whole graham crackers. Break some apart so that the whole bottom of the pan is covered. You can piece them in along the edges.(about 8 whole graham crackers)
  • In a medium sized pan combine butter, sugar, milk, and beaten egg. Cook stirring constantly until it boils. Remove from heat and add coconut, chopped nuts and graham cracker crumbs.
  • Spread over crackers in the pan and then immediately place more whole graham crackers on top covering the coconut mixture.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Make the frosting by combining the butter, cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and almond. Mix until well blended. If it's too runny add a little more powdered sugar.
  • Spread over the top graham cracker layer.
  • Refrigerate for about 20 - 24 hours. This will soften up the graham crackers. Then cut into bars.
