Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can cream of coconut 15 ounce
- 16 ounce frozen whipped topping thawed
- 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut toasted optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a glass 13x9 baking dish with baking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cake mix with milk, butter and eggs on low speed until moistened. Beat for 2-3 minutes on medium speed until well blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Pour cake batter into prepared baking dish. Bake for 36-40 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately poke holes all over the cake, using a wooden skewer (or fork, or handle of a wooden spoon).
- Pour can of cream of coconut slowly over the top of the warm cake, using a spatula to spread it evenly as it falls into the poked holes. Cover with foil and refrigerate for 4 hours, until completely chilled.
- Top cake with thawed whipped topping. Sprinkle coconut generously over the top. Cut into slices and enjoy!
Notes
- I use the handle of a wooden spoon to create holes in my poke cakes. A skewer or the tines of a fork work, too!
- Use a spatula to help spread the cream of coconut evenly across the top of the cake. You want every nook and cranny to absorb that syrupy coconut goodness.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator covered with foil or in an airtight container. This cake tastes best when its nice and cold.
- Are cream of coconut and coconut cream the same? No, they are not. Coconut cream is a product made from the fat solids of coconut milk. As coconut milk sits, the solids rise to the top, creating a thick substance similar to dairy cream! Cream of coconut is coconut cream that's been sweetened and thickened even more. It's similar to sweetened condensed milk but with a real coconut flavor. Make sure to use cream of coconut in this recipe. NOT coconut milk or coconut cream, or you'll get a very different result.
- You can often find cream of coconut near the cocktail mixers at your grocery store.
