8 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 20 squares)
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment.
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, and baking powder and set aside.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  4. 4
    Add the eggs, one at a time, beating between each addition.
  5. 5
    Mix in the vanilla.
  6. 6
    Add the flour mixture and the milk a little bit at a time, alternating between each. Mix thoroughly but be careful not to overbeat.
  7. 7
    Divide the batter evenly between your two prepared pans. Bake for about 25 minutes (or until golden brown and starting to pull away from the sides of the pans).
  8. 8
    Cool in the pans for at least 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely before frosting and assembling.
