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.

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMB CAKE



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.

  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
