Nut Crumb Cake

Blend together Crisco, sugar, eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine graham crackers, walnuts and baking powder.

Slowly blend together the Crisco mixture with the graham cracker mixture, alternating adding milk until everything is combined.

Pour into greased round cake pans (I use two, you might want to use three) and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Cool the cakes, remove from pans, and slice each whole cake crosswise into two layers.

On your serving piece, lay down the first cake layer. “Frost” with whipped cream, cover with next cake layer. At this juncture I use wooden barbecue skewers to hold the layers together. Continue adding cake layers and whipped cream, then frost the entire cake with remaining whipped cream and sprinkle with some chopped walnuts.

Chill the cake in the refrigerator for an hour before slicing and serving.
