Vanilla Wafer Cake - hands down the BEST cake EVER! Super easy to make and tastes AMAZING! No flour in the recipe - this uses a box of crushed up vanilla wafers. YUM! Vanilla wafers, butter, sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla, pecans, and coconut. Can bake the cake in any pan you prefer. Sprinkle the cake with some powdered sugar. #cake #potluck #bundtcake #poundcake
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Grease and flour a Bundt cake pan and set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Add crushed vanilla wafers and milk and mix well.
Stir in vanilla, pecans, and coconut. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake cake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
Cool completely before cutting.
Notes:
You can crush the vanilla wafers by hand or in a food processor.
I baked the cake in a 10-cup Bundt pan. This particular pan is called Bavaria Bundt Pan.
You can use any cake pan that you prefer. Round cake pans, sheet pan, or even make cupcakes. You will just need to adjust the cooking time.
Don't like pecans or coconut? You can leave them out.
How long does Bundt Cake last? The cake will keep for up to 5 days in an air-tight container.
Can Vanilla Wafer Cake be frozen? Yes! Let the cake cool completely and wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and freeze.
