Graham Cracker Cake image

I've been going through my old clippings of recipes, searching for them on Food.com, and adding them to my recipe box online to eliminate paper. Here's one not posted here that was printed in the Chicago Tribune 9/13/00. It's an old-fashioned cake with a dense, tender crumb and a distinct graham cracker flavor. You can serve it plain or with a whipped cream or cream cheese frosting.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, so I used a different type of frosting. The cake was still delicious.

This cake was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was too runny.
