Vanilla Wafer Cake

An online friend turned me onto this cake recipe.  I had never heard of it before she told me, but undoubtedly, this recipe has been around for a very long time.  I made it for the first time tonight. 

2 sticks of butter, softened
1 11oz box of vanilla wafers, crushed rather finely
1 cup grated coconut
1 cup finely chopped pecans
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Generously butter and flour a bundt or angel food cake pan. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Alternate between mixing in vanilla wafer crumbs and milk. Stir in vanilla extract, coconut, and pecans. Place in oven and bake for  70 minutes to 90 minutes.  The cake is thick, so it has to be baked longer. 

Let cool in pan for 15 minutes and then invert onto a cake stand or plate. Eat untopped or try some vanilla sauce, caramel or chocolate sauce on top.  I don't think it needs anything.  It is very moist and delicious.
