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