If you like Graham crackers, then I think you’ll really enjoy this dessert. Graham cracker cake has been around for a long time; once you make it, you’ll know why. It’s full of flavor and has a fantastic texture. This delicious cake is always a hit when we serve it.
Ingredients Needed for an Old Fashioned Graham Cracker Cake:
Butter
White granulated sugar
Eggs
Evaporated Milk (can use regular milk)
Ground Cinnamon
Vanilla extract
Box of Cinnamon Graham crackers, crushed
Shredded Coconut
Chopped Nuts
Maple Glaze Ingredients:
Brown Sugar
Milk
Butter
Maple extract
Powdered Sugar
Recipe Notes:
- We use cinnamon-flavored graham crackers because they are more flavorful, which gives the cake more flavor. You can certainly try it with honey-flavored graham crackers, too.
- We enjoy this cake with the maple glaze. However, it’s delicious with cream cheese frosting or just whipped cream.
