Down Home Vanilla Wafer Cake

This recipe called for a tube pan and I wasn't sure if had one at home. Turns out I did! "Bundt" is a brand name tube pan. Bundt pans seem to be shaped whereas tube pans have a smooth surface. The reviews I came across said you might experience a slight variation in bake time, but they are essentially interchangeable.

This recipe is tasty and the cake is moist. Be sure to grease the pan well and flour. Parts of my cake stuck to the pan. I sliced the cake for a prettier presentation.

Ingredients:
2 sticks butter
6 eggs
1 box 11 oz vanilla wafers, crumbled
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup milk
7 oz package flaked coconut
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 cups sugar

Directions:
Blend sugar and butter until creamy; add eggs, one at a time and beat, alternate vanilla wafers and milk. Add vanilla, coconut, and pecans. Bake in greased and floured tube pan at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
