GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE I



Graham Cracker Cake I image

Why this isn't as popular as it once was, I will never know.

Provided by Kevin Ryan

Categories     Desserts     Cakes

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
¾ cup ground pecans
½ cup cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 egg yolks, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk, lukewarm
3 egg whites, room temperature
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup heavy whipping cream
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
½ cup chopped pecans

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.

NO BAKE PUDDING GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE



No Bake Pudding Graham Cracker Cake image

This cake takes no time to put together , is so light you could eat the entire thing yourself. We stole this recipe from my cousin who guarded with her life for years.

Provided by lunitari601

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 1 Cake, 15-25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (10 ounce) box honey graham crackers (Not sure of what size box I use just the one with three packages in it, had to put something or it w)
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
4 cups milk
2 pints heavy whipping cream
chocolate syrup, to decorate

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



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).

Provided by Laceys mom

Categories     Dessert

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups graham flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs plus 2 large yolks, at room temperature
2 cups buttermilk, well-shaken
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Lightly coat two 9-inch cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottoms with parchment rounds; lightly coat parchment with nonstick spray.
  • Whisk together both of the flours, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon in a large bowl until combined. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and vanilla in another bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the whole eggs and yolks one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, until the batter is completely combined, smooth and creamy. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Smooth the tops. Bake, rotating the pans from left to right halfway through, until the cakes are a light golden brown and a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let the cakes cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the cakes and invert onto the wire rack. Remove the parchment and let the cakes cool completely.
  • For the frosting: Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until very smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the cream, then continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes longer. Set aside at room temperature until ready to assemble.
  • To assemble: Place one cake domed-side down on a platter. Spread 1 cup of the frosting evenly over the top. Place the remaining cake domed-side up on top. Spread the top with 1 1/2 cups of frosting. Frost the sides of the cake with 1 1/2 cups of frosting and smooth out completely to make an even crumb coat. (It's okay if some of the cake shows through. This is just a base layer.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the frosting set. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides, smoothing it out with a large offset spatula.

CRAB CAKE SANDWICHES WITH OYSTER-CRACKER BREADING



Crab Cake Sandwiches with Oyster-Cracker Breading image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 crab cakes

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 slices white sandwich bread
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1 1/4 cups oyster crackers
Vegetable oil, for frying
8 hamburger buns, split
Bibb lettuce, for serving
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Make the crab cakes: Tear the bread into very small pieces or rub between your hands into small crumbs. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and a pinch each of salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the breadcrumbs are toasted and crisp, about 3 minutes; transfer to a large bowl and let cool. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet; let cool slightly.
  • Add the egg, mayonnaise, chives, parsley, lemon zest, paprika, cayenne and melted butter to the breadcrumb mixture; stir to combine. Add the crab and gently stir until just combined. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form the crab mixture into eight 21/2- to 3-inch patties; transfer to the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, grind the oyster crackers in a food processor to make fine crumbs; set aside.
  • Make the sauce: Whisk the mayonnaise with the lemon zest and juice, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in the chives. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Cook the crab cakes: Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Press the crab cakes into the ground oyster crackers, turning to coat. Working in batches, add the crab cakes to the skillet and fry, turning, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. (Adjust the heat if the crab cakes are browning too quickly.) Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve the crab cakes on the buns with lettuce and sauce.
