Graham Cracker Crumb Cake image

This is a similar recipe to one my mother and grandmother used to make. The main difference is that you don't need to separate the eggs and whip the whites and then incorporate them into the batter. Makes a denser cake but it tastes the same. A cream cheese icing works just as well. That being said, I was looking for a recipe to use up 4 cups of leftover ground up gingerbread men from Christmas and this worked perfectly! Tastes great even with gingerbread crumbs! I made it in a 9 X 13 pan and baked it for 40-45 minutes.

I would definitely make this cake again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less sugar in the crust and I would add a layer of fresh fruit to the top.

Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I had some trouble getting the crust to set properly, but the filling turned out great.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still enjoyable.

I'm not a big fan of graham cracker crusts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The crust was crispy and the filling was creamy and smooth.

This is the best graham cracker crumb cake recipe I've ever tried! The crust is perfectly crispy and the filling is creamy and smooth. I added a layer of fresh strawberries to the top and it was divine.
