Ending the deafening silence on my blog with a sweet post...
Brown Sugar Graham Cracker Cake!
I took one of my favorite quick recipes -Brown sugar cake and made a few changes. Here is the original recipe:
3 c flour
1.5 c brown sugar
1/2 c white sugar
1 c butter
1/2 t salt
Mix dry ingredients and then cut butter into the dry ingredients until no large butter chunks remain. Measure out 1 cup of this mixture and set aside.
3/4 t baking soda
1 egg
1 c sour milk i.e. 15 T milk 1 T lemon juice
Mix the baking with the dry ingredients and then add the egg and milk. Stir enough to wet all ingredients but keep it a little lumpy. Then put in a greased 9X13 casserole pan. Sprinkle the dry reserved ingredients over the top. Bake at 350 til lightly browned and done in the center.
Here are the changes that I made
2 c flour
1 pkg or 1 c graham cracker crumbs (finely ground)
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 t salt
3/4 c butter
1/4 c oil*
Same method as above cut in butter to dry. Reserve one cup
3/4 t baking soda
1 egg
1 cup sour milk
Mix the baking with the dry ingredients and then add the egg and milk. Stir enough to wet all ingredients but keep it a little lumpy. Then put in a greased 9X13 casserole pan. Sprinkle the dry reserved ingredients over the top. Bake at 350 til lightly browned and done in the center.
It was delicious. Serve with fresh fruit and whipping cream or ice cream. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did!
*I have been experimenting with replacing butter with oil in baking. So far I have done as much as 1/3 and I can't really tell a huge difference. I have been doing this for two reasons.
1. I am trying not to buy margarine. It has gotten really bad lately and full of bad fats. But paying 3 times as much for the real stuff can be painful sometimes and I know that oil is a lot cheaper
2. Canola oil( which is my veggie oil of choice) is healthier than butter.
