i wouldd like to make a vanilla cake

By daisy on February 15, 2013

I have been this cake several times. It is a definate hit in our house. Well today my neighbor brought it over as a Thank You to my husband and I. I can't keep my hands out of it. It is so moist and delicious. And so very easy to make. I love vanilla wafers and being that is the main ingredients I love this cake. Yummy!

I have made this cake twice and both times it was a huge success. I saw this recipe when she had it on her television show with the woman who originally had it as a family recipe and it looked and sounded good that day. I looked it up online immediately and have been glad I did ever since. I have made it two Christmas's in a row and will do it for a third I am sure. Easy and good!

I made this last Christmas and it was wonderful! I am attending a holiday party and I want to take a sure winner so I just looked up this recipe and plan on making and taking this to the party. It is relatively easy to make and a true crowd pleaser.

The reason the cake is sticking is b/cause an ingredient was missing. Search this recipe online and you will see butter or margarine ( 3/4 to 1 cup, softened) in every recipe- using the exact ingredients. Can't believe one of Paula's recipes left out the butter! lol

DELICIOUS!!!!! My husband who isn't a dessert person changed his mind with this cake. Lol. He ate 3/4 of the cake all by himself in 2 days. That left the other 1/4 to share between my 2 kids and I. I made it 10 days ago. Today while getting my grocery list together my husband makes a request (he never request anything special from store) his request....get stuff to make the cake again. I cooked the 1 hr and mine came out perfect. I made Paula's caramel sauce and drizzled on top. Greatness!!!! This will be on my holiday dessert table from this point forward. Happy to have been given a recipe that pleases!

My husband and I are totally addicted to this cake! After watching the episode I quickly investigated my pantry and joyfully discovered I had all the ingredients required for this recipe. My husband crushed the wafers in a gallon zip lock bag (half of the wafers at a time) while I throwed all the remaining ingredients in a big bowl. I must say that I took one lady's advice from this comment section and used Baker's Joy spray on the bundt pan as adding a little extra flour. I also took another's advice and baked for 1 hour and 20 to 25 minutes. The cake came out perfect. This is a heavy cake and will stick to your bones as Paula says. I think I will reduce the amount of sugar next time and evn thinking about throwing in some ripened bannanas. Great recipe and so easy!

Good tasting cake. I cooked it for 1 hour and 20 minutes and it was cooked through, yet moist.

Very rich, needs longer cook time than listed. Not recommended for diabetics like Paula, Or for those after gastric bypass like Christy Jordan.

I would like to make muffins using the vanilla wafer cake recipe. Do I need to adjust the recipe? Thanks.

Although I cooked the cake for 1 hour, it was not done. However, it has an awesome taste. I did some investigation and other recipes say to cook it 1:20 minutes or 1:25 minutes. The crust on the the one I cooked was beautiful. So I thought it was done. Use Baker's Joy to keep from sticking in Bundt pan.

Love the Vanilla Wafer Cake, its so easy that my grandson loves to help make it. My husband also loves to eat it for breakfast w/o toasting in the butter. He says that I could make one a week. Tried it with peanuts but I liked the pecans better.

By Deborah Brown on January 30, 2012

I've made this recipe twice and it stuck to the pan both times. I thought maybe I hadn't buttered and floured the pan enough the first time, but that wasn't the problem. I even bought a new bundt pan, thinking that might be the problem. Anyone have a solution to this problem? I love the cake, but it doesn't look very pretty on the plate.

I am 61 years old.I remember my mother cooking the vanilla wafer cake before i could see over the table.I loved it then and I love it now! My granmother taught my mother,she taught me how to bake the vanilla wafer cake. I raised 3 boys and they always helped make what they called "the fun cake" because they could make a mess in the kitchen and get away with it! Lots of memories!Now I am teaching my daughter-in-laws how to make the cake. A must for all holidays around our house.

Hello Paula D; I donot like the cake because of the textures its just not for me, Well i tried the vanilla waffer cake without the coconuts, and it was good my grandchildren loved it. Thank you

I followed the directions the letter, the cake turned out doughy but the top tasted fine. I was looking forward to this treat but now very disapointed.

My sister came over the morning after your show aired with this recipe and insisted we bake this cake immediately. OH MY GOSH WHAT A FABULOUS CAKE! It is dense, sticky, crunchy in places and so addictively good! We did not butter and fry it in the frying pan, but did serve it with strawberries and whipped topping. I also sprayed my bundt pan with cooking spray for baking instead of using butter and flour to coat the pan. I'm making it again tonight for Sunday lunch tomorrow and am going to serve it with some french vanilla Jello pudding, garnished with sliced bananas. It will be a twist on the typical old timey banana pudding since the vanilla wafers are in the cake.
