Pans: Prepare three 8" cake pans or one angel food cake pan.
Cake: Cream butter, eggs and sugar. Add milk and graham cracker crumbs with soda and baking powder. Mix in gently. Add nuts, coconut and well-drained crushed pineapple. Pour into appropriate pans. It is a very large cake! Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Allow cake to cool on racks.

Great-Aunt Louise Stoke, Uncle John's wife, was the first to make this cake for us and we fell in love with it immediately.
