For those of you who, like me, are too lazy to make a layer cake, pour ALL the batter into ONE 8X8 square and bake for 40 minutes. I also did the egg-white trick, and this cake turned out so good.

Baked exactly as directed. The cakes turned out, but a lot thinner than hoped. Not dense, great flavor and a fun addition to our dessert line-up. I will, however do as suggested and whip the egg whites and fold in. If that doesn’t add enough volume I will double the recipe.

I also doubled and baked in sheet pan. I covered the cake with my cheesecake mousse and top that with sliced fresh strawberries. Something special for a picnic. It was a big hit. I also bake another one in the sheet pan and covered with chocolate butter cream for our sons swim team..... they loved it! Thanks for such a great recipe!

This was tasty! From one of the earlier reviews, I was afraid that the cake might come out dense, so I separated the egg whites, whipped them until stiff and folded them in before baking. I used salted butter too. Tastes just like a graham cracker! Now on to the ganache :)

Heads up that another site with this recipe lists the same recipe but with only 1/2 cup of flour.

I made this recipe exactly as written, but doubled and baked it in a half sheet pan. My end project is a key lime cake where this graham cracker cake is the base, the key lime custard is layered over, and bruleed seven-minute frosting is the top layer. This cake was perfect for this purpose. Further, it really does taste like a graham cracker crust.

the original recipe i have from the Chicago Sun TImes calls for beaten egg whites to be folded into the batter.

This recipe flopped really bad. I followed the recipe exactly and the batter was super thick. When it baked, it didn't rise like a regular cake and all stuck to the pan and crumbled. Worst part....it tasted like a dry boring cake.

Three cheers for this cake! I made this, filled it with a marshmallow filling, and a chocolate frosting! I it was just like smores - I think this cake would be good plain with ice cream or whipped cream.

Would this be easily adapted to cupcakes?

Totally! Just shorten the baking time I think (watch and insert a tester after 18 minutes or so), and everything else should be the same.

I made these as cupcakes for New Years Eve. Turned out great! It made 14 regular sized cupcakes. I baked them using convection bake at 325F for about 14 minutes. Unique and yummy!
