  bottom is evenly coated. Shake out an extra flour. Bake the cake for 45 
  minutes. Test with a toothpick for doneness. Remove the from the oven let 
  it cool slightly. Cut it into squares and serve warm.

  on top. 
   
  STORY:  Thanks to Dr. Sylvester Graham, you can bake this crunchy cake from 
  crackers named after him.  Graham, who lived in the early 1800's insisted 
  that whole wheat flour was far more healthy then white flour. In those 
  days, it was.  Whole wheat flour was made by grinding the whole grain of 
  wheat.  For white flour, only the soft inside of the grain was used. The 
  outer layers, rich with vitamins and minerals, were left out. Today, white 
  flour is "enriched" with the need vitamins and minerals. But whole wheat is 
  still naturally healthy.  So are the graham crackers, made from this flour. 
  Use them for this one-bowl cake. It's all American.
