01 -
½ cup butter, softened
02 -
1 (11 oz) box vanilla wafers, crushed into fine crumbs
03 -
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
04 -
6 large eggs
05 -
½ cup milk
06 -
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
07 -
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
08 -
1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and thoroughly grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
02 -
Place vanilla wafers in a large ziplock bag, seal, and crush with a rolling pin or wooden spoon until fine crumbs remain.
03 -
In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar. Mix for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
04 -
Add eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
05 -
Pour in milk and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
06 -
Fold in the crushed wafer crumbs, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans until evenly combined.
07 -
Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. Cover the top with foil during the last 15-20 minutes to prevent over-browning.

Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes. Use a knife to loosen the edges, then invert onto a serving plate. Let the cake cool to room temperature before slicing.
# Notes:

Covering the cake with foil during the last part of baking helps prevent over-browning while keeping a crispy edge.
