Recipe Introduction


When I was a kid, this was absolutely my favorite desert! It still ranks pretty high on my list. I'm not sure where my mom got this recipe, but I suspect it might be the Womens Home Companion Cookbook (circa 1941).

1 stack Graham Crackers (1/4 box)
bananas, sliced 1/4" thick

Buttercream Frosting
1 lb Powdered Sugar
1 stick Butter (softened)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 cp milk

place a graham cracker on a plate. Cover with a layer of banana slices. Repeat until you've used up the crackers (ending with a cracker on top).

In a mixing bowl, beat sugar, butter, milk and vanilla till smooth and fluffy. Frost cake.

Let this cake sit a few hours before serving so the crackers soften. Mom always sliced this cake. I prefer to cut it in quarters so everyone gets big pieces and plenty of frosting!

What to do with left over frosting?
mix in some peanut butter and/or cocoa. apply to a graham cracker in a thick layer. top with another graham cracker. duplicate this process until you've run out of frosting. call the kids. serve with milk.
