Print this Recipe

Esther Tomich - San Pedro, California
Bake-Off® Contest 28, 1978 Grand Prize Winner
The growing interest in whole grains and homespun foods in the 1970s was reflected in Bake-Off® entries. So it's not surprising that a great-tasting cake that included crushed graham crackers, orange juice and nuts would gain the approval of Bake-Off® judges.


   CAKE
   2 cups all-purpose flour
   1 cup (14 squares) finely crushed graham crackers or graham cracker crumbs
   1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
   1/2 cup sugar
   1 teaspoon baking powder
   1 teaspoon baking soda
   1 teaspoon salt
   1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
   1 cup margarine or butter, softened
   1 cup orange juice
   1 tablespoon grated orange peel
   3 eggs
   1 cup chopped nuts
   
   GLAZE
   2 tablespoons brown sugar
   5 teaspoons milk
   1 tablespoon margarine or butter
   3/4 cup powdered sugar
   1/4 cup chopped nuts


Heat oven to 350°F. Generously grease and flour 12-cup Bundt pan or 10-inch tube pan. In large bowl, combine all cake ingredients except nuts; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, stir in 1 cup nuts. Pour batter into greased and floured pan.

Bake at 350°F. for 40 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool upright in pan 15 minutes; invert onto serving plate. Cool completely.

In small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, milk and 1 tablespoon margarine; cook over low heat just until sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar; blend until smooth. Drizzle over cake; sprinkle with 1/4 cup nuts.
