Categories     cakes

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (50g) graham cracker crumbs (plus more for garnish)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup (150g) firmly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup (59ml) milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 ounce (28g) unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
1/2 cup (55g) confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 to 1 & 1/2 tablespoons boiling water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan. If you like, line the pan with parchment paper to create a sling. Grease the lining.
  • Whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture in three portions, alternating with two portions of the milk. Mix just until combined.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Spread evenly.
  • Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then transfer the cake from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Place the butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at half-power in 30-second increments until the butter has melted and the chocolate melts when stirred.
  • Gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar, adding a small amount of water at a time as needed for mixing. (You may not use all of the water.) Stir until smooth.
  • Working quickly before the glaze sets, drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Top with graham cracker crumbs.

GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE (NO BAKE, 5 INGREDIENTS)



Graham Cracker Cake (No Bake, 5 Ingredients) image

This no-bake graham cracker cake is made with just 5 ingredients and is an amazing copycat of an intricate honey layer cake. The fluffy sour cream frosting makes the cake really tender and the sweet graham crackers pair so nicely with the tangy frosting.

Provided by Olga's Flavor Factory

Time 15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

14 oz box honey graham crackers
2 1/2 - 3 cups heavy cream, chilled (2 1/2 cups if making 3 graham cracker cake layers, 3 cups if making 4 layers)
1 cup powdered sugar, divided (or to taste)
2 lbs sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
shaved/grated chocolate, on top of the cake

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the sour cream with the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gently fold the whipped cream into the sour cream mixture until combined. Add more sugar if you have a sweeter taste preference.
  • Spread about 1 1/2 cups of the frosting to cover the bottom of a 9 X 13 inch pan. Top with a layer of graham crackers, breaking the crackers as necessary, so the crackers fit like a puzzle in a single even layer. Top with more frosting, about 2 cups (it doesn't have to be exact), spreading the frosting to cover the graham crackers.
  • You should have these layers in the end: 1 1/2 cups frosting, graham crackers, 2 cups frosting, graham crackers, 2 cups frosting, graham crackers, remaining frosting.
  • Grate a chocolate bar on top of the last layer of frosting.
  • Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight before serving. You can make the cake up to 2 days in advance.

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, dessert

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 graham crackers (to yield 2 cups crumbs)
1/2 cup butter, plus butter for greasing pan
2 eggs
1/2 cups honey
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put the graham crackers in a brown paper bag, and smash them up. Squish and pound vigorously. Sitting on the bag insures very fine crumbs. You should end up with about 2 cups.
  • Melt the butter in a large pan over low heat. Stir the eggs and honey in a bowl with the melted butter.
  • In another bowl mix the graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pour half the graham cracker mixture into the honey mixture and stir well. Add the milk to the honey mixture, and stir again. Add the rest of the crumbs, and mix well.
  • Grease a 9-inch square baking pan, and pour in the batter. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cake is nicely browned.
