We most often see graham cracker crumbs used for cheesecakes or pies, but in today's vintage recipe we see it in a regular cake to replace flour. It's a great recipe to keep on hand should we ever run out of flour, but don't wait for that to happen. The graham crackers give this cake a nice flavor!

Graham Cracker Cake
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts
1 pound graham crackers

Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolks. Beat thoroughly. Combine with graham cracker crumbs rolled fine, and baking powder. Add vanilla, milk, and nuts. Mix thoroughly. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour into well-oiled, shallow pans. Bake in moderate oven (375 F.) about 30 minutes. Serve with whipped cream. Marie Barcol, Kansas.
