6 Eggs well beaten
2 Cups white sugar
6 Tbsp. hot strong coffee
2 Tsp. vanilla
6 Tbsp. cocoa powder
2 Cups shortening (softened)
Large box of graham cracker cookies
Beat all the ingredients (aside from the graham cookies) until smooth and well combined.
Lay graham crackers on the bottom of a 9 x 9 inch baking pan so that they completely cover the bottom (you may have to break some of the end crackers to fit). 1/3 of the cake mixer over top. Top that with another layer of graham crackers just the same as you did on the bottom. Top that with another 1/3 of the cake mixture, top that with one more layer of graham crackers and the remaining 1/3 of the cake mixture.
Crumble graham cookies over the top.
Refridgerate for TWO days.. that is the hardest part!! But the anticipation will make it that much better! I promise! :)
Enjoy!
OH man!! This looks awesome!!! Does the coffee flavor overpower the chocolate(cocoa) though?
ReplyDeleteNot at all, the coffee flavor is really subtle... just adds a nice little undertone. Trust me, you'll love this!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try it - Yum
ReplyDeleteThat’s a lot of lard and no flour. A friend was describing this dessert that her deceased mom would often make. She has not had it for many many years. I will surprise her with it even tho I am somewhat skeptical. Thanks for sharing. I’ll let you know what she thinks.
ReplyDeleteNo baking wven with all those eggs??
ReplyDeleteThat's my concern
