I had to get up bright and early this morning to make this Atlantic City Cracker Cake, also known as Magic Cracker Cake.❤️ If you’ve never had it before, don’t let the saltine crackers fool you. They soften in the refrigerator and turn into a rich, creamy, cake-like dessert that’s been a family favorite for generations. The full recipe is below if y’all want to make it too. Let me know in the comments…have you ever had Atlantic City Cracker Cake, or is this your first time hearing about it? 🍰💕 Atlantic City Magic Cracker Cake * 1 cup heavy cream, chilled * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract * 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest * 3 tablespoons lemon juice, divided * 1 teaspoon fresh lime zest * 3 tablespoons lime juice, divided * 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, divided * 3 tablespoons water * 1 (4 ounce) sleeve saltine crackers * lemon slices, for garnish * lime slices, for garnish Combine cream, vanilla, lemon zest, 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice, lime zest, 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice, and 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until mixture starts to froth, about 1 minute, then gradually increase to high speed and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, about 2 more minutes. Set aside. 1. Whisk together 3 tablespoons water, remaining 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk, and remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice and remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice in a shallow bowl. Spread 1/3 cup of the whipped cream mixture on a long platter in a 9-inch-long and 2-inch-thick line. 
 2. Place a few crackers in the condensed milk mixture to fully submerge and let sit for 30 seconds. Working with one of the soaked crackers at a time, shake off excess milk and spread about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the whipped cream to cover one side of the cracker. Stand upright on prepared platter. Repeat with remaining crackers, pressing each frosted cracker against the previous one to create a log. Frost top and sides of the cracker log with remaining whipped cream mixture. Insert several toothpicks into the log and cover loosely with plastic wrap, or cover with a large bowl. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 8 hours.
 3. When ready to serve, top with sliced lemon and lime. Slice on a diagonal to see all the layers. #recipes #dessert #desserts #magic #cake
