Making An Old Fashioned Graham Cracker Cake Recipe
If you love making cakes that are simple to prepare, but still taste awesome, you will love this recipe. This recipe was given to me by my 83-year-old great aunt who used to make it for all of our family reunions and picnics.
It uses ingredients, you mostly likely have on hand. My family really enjoys this cake recipe because its different and yet easy to make.
If you have a large enough rectangular cake pan, you can indeed make it in one pan instead of the 2 rounds called for in the recipe. I like to top mine with either vanilla or cream cheese frosting.
Graham Cracker Cake
Ingredients
3 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3 eggs, separated
1 1/2 c. milk
3/4 c. shortening
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour two 9″ around cake pans.
Break 8 graham crackers into blender container, cover and process to grind. Empty contents into mixing bowl and repeat with remaining graham crackers, add baking powder and salt.
Put egg yolks, milk, shortening, sugar and vanilla into blender container, cover and process until smooth. Add to cracker crumbs and mix well.
Beat egg whites with mixer until stiff. Fold into cracker mixture. Pour into prepared pans and bake 30-35 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then finish cooling on a wire rack.
After it has been cooled, frost this graham cracker cake it with your favorite icing. To dress up your cake, you can use an icing tool to make swirls or a patterned design in the frosting. You can also top the cake with some fresh sliced fruit such as peaches.
