Keywords: Use fresh ingredients for better flavor; stale graham crackers can affect texture. Allowing the cake to chill overnight enhances flavors and softens the graham crackers beautifully. For variations, consider using flavored pudding mixes or adding fresh fruit like strawberries between layers.
