Graham Cracker Walnut Whipped Cream Caramel Cake image

This makes two 1-layer cakes I found this recipe in a newspaper & kept it for years before trying. It is now one of our favorites. My sis is diabetic, but still has it every holiday. The orange sauce goes great with the whipped cream. A real taste treat.
