                    I have had this recipe for over 30 years. I love it because it is so moist and does not have icing on it. It is amazing that it has no flour in it at all. I have found it especially easy and fast to crush the vanilla wafers by double bagging in ziplok baggies and pounding with a rolling pin. And if you start off using the mini vanilla wafers then you have less pounding. If using a 2-part tube cake pan, be sure and spray your non-stick coating (I prefer baker's joy) all over both pcs including the bottoms before putting them together. Also place a cookie sheet on the rack underneath to catch the drippings that fall out. I have never made this in a one pc bundt cake pan. Ingredients:
