PINEAPPLE GRAHAM CAKE
A new to me twist - no flour; just graham cracker crumbs; then baked in a loaf pan & topped with a pineapple glaze. Be sure to grease and flour the pan WELL as the cake tends to stick. I also found it easier to de-pan while the cake was hot and then pour on the glaze. I have made a lighter version, using apple butter for 1/2 the butter, Splenda granular for 1/2 the sugar & 1/4 cup of Egg Beaters in place of egg yolks. The result was just as good as the orignal.

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.

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.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, ripe pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a sweeter, more intense flavor than canned pineapple.
- If you don't have pineapple extract, you can use another flavoring extract, such as vanilla or almond.
- Be sure to let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- If you want a thicker frosting, you can add more powdered sugar.
- You can decorate the cake with additional pineapple slices, maraschino cherries, or chopped nuts.

This pineapple graham cracker cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the pineapple icing is the perfect finishing touch. Whether you are serving it at a party or enjoying it as a snack, this cake is sure to be a hit.
