GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE



Graham Cracker Cake image

This is an old recipe that my grandmother made for my mom and uncle when they were kids, late 40s-50s. She continued to make it periodically throughout the years. It's kind of different, but has a good taste. Don't really know the prep time, but not real long (just a guess).

Time 30m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups sugar
1 cup margarine (melted)
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drained)
2 (1 lb) boxes graham crackers (finely crush 1 box, leave other box whole)

Steps:

  • Mix sugar, melted margarine, and pineapple.
  • Add the finely crushed graham crackers to the mixture until thick enough to spread (fairly thick).
  • Place a layer of the whole graham crackers on a serving/cake plate.
  • (You're going to build up layers to form a cake, similar in size and shape of a 1/4 sheet cake).
  • Spread a layer of the mixture on the whole cracker layer.
  • Put a layer of whole crackers on the mixture.
  • Keep alternating layers of the mixture and the whole crackers until you have a desireable size and shape.
  • "Frost"top and sides with remaining mixture.
  • Best when made the day before, so that the graham crackers can get kind of soft and the flavors can combine.
  • Can be refrigerated or just covered.

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.
