For years as a child my mother always made our favorite cake. I don't have the recipe and really want it. It was a graham cracker cake with coffee icing. It was dark, extremely moist and oh so delicious. My mother was born in 1910.

My mother used to make the icing and put it on graham crackers for us to eat as a treat. I believe it was powered sugar and a bit of coffee. She'd add food coloring.
Any of these sound familiar?
