Description:

Looking to shake up your dessert routine? This Vanilla Wafer Cake offers a delightful twist to your usual sweet treats. It’s a cake that stands out on its own, needing no icing, although it could certainly be complemented with a dollop of white or cream cheese frosting if you’re feeling indulgent.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup margarine
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup coconut flakes
• 1 cup pecan pieces

Instructions:

1. Cream Sugar and Margarine:
   Start by creaming together the sugar and margarine until smooth and creamy in texture.

2. Add Eggs:
   Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Beat the mixture after adding each egg to ensure proper integration.

3. Stir in Wafers, Milk, and Vanilla:
   Once the eggs are well mixed in, stir in the vanilla extract, milk, and the star ingredient, vanilla wafer cookies. Blend the mixture until everything is evenly combined.

4. Fold in Coconut and Pecans:
   Gently fold in the coconut flakes and pecan pieces into the batter. This step adds texture and flavor to the cake, so ensure they are evenly distributed throughout.

5. Bake:
   Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). Grease a tube or bundt pan generously. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.

6. Bake Time:
   Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of the cake as it bakes will tantalize your senses.

7. Cool and Serve:
   Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before carefully transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve this delightful Vanilla Wafer Cake on its own or with your favorite accompaniment.
