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.
