Recipe Notes:
- We use cinnamon-flavored graham crackers because they are more flavorful, which gives the cake more flavor. You can certainly try it with honey-flavored graham crackers, too.
- We enjoy this cake with the maple glaze. However, it’s delicious with cream cheese frosting or just whipped cream.
