Copied this off the internet, I've made the cake base, but never with the glaze. The cake is very moist and delicious!

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 c butter or margarine, softened
2 c sugar
6 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
12 oz box vanilla wafers, crushed fine
6 oz package coconut
1 c pecans, chopped
GLAZE:
2 c sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/8 tsp salt
Zest of 2 large lemons
1/4 c lemon juice (from the lemons you've zested)
6 oz package coconut

Steps:

  • 1. For the cake: Grease and flour a 10-inch tube cake pan. Cream the butter and sugar until light and smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating well. Mix in the vanilla wafer crumbs, coconut and pecans. Pour into the pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack.
  • 2. For the glaze: Mix the sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon zest and juice, 1 1/2 cups of water and coconut in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened, for about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then using a toothpick, poke several holes in the top of the cake and drizzle the glaze over the cake.

This cake was a huge disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I won't be making this cake again.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked it. Next time I'll try baking it for a few minutes less.

This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly and the frosting was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
