Coconut Cream Poke Cake
Description
This dessert starts with a prepared white cake baked in a 9x13 pan. While still warm, holes are gently poked into the cake at varying depths to allow the coconut condensed milk mixture to seep in without pooling at the bottom. The liquid is poured slowly over the cake, saturating it and providing moisture and coconut flavor.
After refrigerating for at least four hours to allow the cake to absorb the coconut mixture thoroughly, it is iced with whipped topping or store-bought cool whip and sprinkled with sweetened coconut flakes. The resulting cake is tender and moist with a creamy texture contrasted by the slight chew of coconut flakes on top.
This cake makes an inviting dessert especially for coconut lovers and works well served chilled, ideal for warm weather or as a festive treat.
Ingredients
- 1 white cake mix box
- 1 sweetened condensed milk can
- 1 cream of coconut canned
- 8 oz whipped topping cool whip or homemade whipping cream
- 2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- First make a white cake mix, following the directions on the box for an 9 x 13 baking pan.
- While the cake is baking, mix together a can of sweetened condensed milk and a can of cream of coconut. Cream of coconut is not to be confused with coconut milk. You can find it in the drink mix section - (like for cocktails) at most stores.
- When you pull the cake out of the oven, poke holes all over the cake. Don't poke holes all the way to the bottom or the liquid will all be at the bottom of the cake. Try to poke holes at different depths, some shallow and some deeper.
- Slowly pour the coconut cream mix all over the cake, and try to make sure it doesn't go over the edges, because then the liquid will seep to the bottom of the cake.
- Refrigerate cake for at least 4 hours and then ice with homemade whipped cream or a small tub of cool whip.
- Sprinkle top with coconut flakes and enjoy!
