For a richer flavor, brown the butter before creaming it with the sugar. Let it cool slightly before using. Toast the coconut and walnuts lightly for enhanced flavor. Toast the coconut in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently. Toast the walnuts in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes. Ensure the vanilla wafers are finely crushed to avoid lumps in the batter. A food processor works best for this. If the cake starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Dust the Bundt pan generously with flour. Tap out any excess flour to prevent a thick coating on the cake.
