JUMP TO RECIPE

Difficulty: Easy

Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 60 minutes

Servings: 10

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 (12 oz) box vanilla wafers, crushed
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, or your favorite nut
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • butter, for greasing pan
  • flour, for dusting pan

Directions

Cook’s Note: An easy way to crush your vanilla wafers is to place half of the box at a time in a gallon zipper-seal bag and roll over them with a rolling pin or glass, then repeat with the other half.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease and flour a tube or Bundt pan.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs well. Mix the sugar, vanilla wafers, coconut, pecans and milk into the eggs.

Pour the mixture into the tube or Bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let sit in the pan for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto a plate. Allow to cool completely.

If desired, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a small sauté pan. Cut a 1-inch slice of cake, butter both sides and toast in the butter. Add a dollop of whipped cream and serve with berries. Drizzle with caramel sauce. Repeat with remaining cake slices.

Just made this last night; instead of making it in a bundt cake pan I made it in a 11x15 sheet cake pan then cut the cake in cubes, layered it with crushed vanilla wafer cookies, banana pudding and banana's. This was a hit at work, will definitely be using this for summer cookouts and holidays!

Just made this cake today to bring in to work tomorrow. Instead of using a Bundt, I spread it out evenly in a 11x15 sheet pan, cut it into cubes and layered it with crushed vanilla wafers, banana pudding filling and banana's and made mini parfaits with the remaining cake pieces and pudding mixture. This will definitely be a go to for summer holiday cookouts!
