Graham Cracker Sheet Cake Recipes

GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE I

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.

GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE

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.

NO BAKE PUDDING GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE

Steps:

• Make both the Vanilla and Chocolate pudding as directed on the box.
• Take the whipping cream and mix on high speed until it becomes the consistency of cool whip.
• Mix the whipping cream and the vanilla pudding together.
• Start layering graham crackers covered with chocolate and vanilla pudding, alternating between the two flavors. I always use a rectangular serving platter.
• When Chocolate pudding is gone use remaining vanilla pudding mixture to cover the entire cake (just like you were icing it).
• Drizzle chocolate sauce in lines across the top of the cake(no need to be perfect), take a knife and drag it in the opposite direction of the syrup lines to make a nice patter.
• Refrigerate the entire cake at least 3 hours.
• The graham crackers will absorb the moister from the pudding and become soft like cake.
• Cut on the corner going in to create a neat looking slice.
• Good Luck with leftovers because there never is any.

GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE

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.
