| 18 | Sylvester graham, you can bake this crunchy cake from crackers named after him. |
| 19 | Graham, who lived in the early 1800"s insisted that whole wheat flour was far more healthy then white flour. |
| 20 | In those days, it was. |
| 21 | Whole wheat flour was made by grinding the whole grain of wheat. |
| 22 | For white flour, only the soft inside of the grain was used. |
| 23 | The outer layers, rich with vitamins and minerals, were left out. |
| 24 | Today, white flour is "enriched" with the need vitamins and minerals. |
| 25 | But whole wheat is still naturally healthy. |
| 26 | So are the graham crackers, made from this flour. |
| 27 | Use them for this one-bowl cake. |
| 28 | It"s all american. |
