For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular softened butter. Toast the coconut and pecans lightly before adding them to the batter for enhanced flavor and texture. Ensure the vanilla wafers are crushed very finely to prevent a gritty texture in the finished cake. A glaze made with powdered sugar and a splash of milk or vanilla extract can be drizzled over the cooled cake for added sweetness and visual appeal.

01 Step
Recipe View 15 mins Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Generously grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt® pan). In a medium bowl, combine the flaked coconut and ground pecans; set aside. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View 20 mins In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This may take 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Gradually beat in the crushed vanilla wafers, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the wafers. This ensures a smooth and well-combined batter. Gently fold in the coconut and pecan mixture until evenly distributed throughout the batter. (Prep time: 20 minutes)

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top of the cake begins to brown too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. (Bake time: 60-70 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View 1 hrs Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (Cooling time: 1 hour)
