This buttery Vanilla Wafer Cake uses a box of Vanilla Wafers instead of flour. Shredded coconut and chopped pecans get mixed into the batter and it is baked up in a bundt pan. This is seriously one of the most delicious cakes I’ve ever eaten. I think I gained about 5 pounds the week I made this cake because I kept going back for just one more little sliver.
It’s positively addicting!

 
This is a recipe that’s been around for quite a few years and it is similar to a pound cake, only I think it is much, much better.
Vanilla Wafer Cake doesn’t have any icing and it really doesn’t need any. Maybe a dollop of whipped cream, but that is all.

 

 
Vanilla Wafer Cake bakes up wonderfully moist and sweet and it will stay fresh for days. It’s sturdy like a pound cake, making it a good choice for taking to potlucks.
