I made two them last week it was a great cake .... I purchased more buttermilk today plan to make one to take to work ... :)
 
Depending on the kind of graham cracker you use it does change the flavor .. I liked the cinamon low fat ones the best in the cake ... This cake has the texture of a carrot cake ...It is very yummie ...
