Coconut Cream Poke Cake using Box Cake Mix

Step 1

Bake cake per instructions on back of cake mix box for a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Step 2

(For a bakery style cake, I substituted milk for the water and melted butter for the oil.)

Step 3

When cake is done, while still hot, poke holes all over cake (a lot of holes). Make sure fork goes about 3/4 of the way through the cake, you don't want to poke holes through to the bottom.

Step 4

Mix together the coconut cream and sweetened condensed milk. (NOTE: the coconut cream may come out of the can as a solid on top and liquid on bottom. That is fine. just blend really good in the bowl before mixing in the milk.

Step 5

Slowly pour the liquid over the cake, even spooning it on and pushing liquid as much as possible into the holes. Cool cake completely before icing the cake.

Step 6

Once cake is cool you can frost with cool whip and sprinkle as much coconut flakes onto cool whip and push into the cool whip to hold flakes.

Step 7

Cake should be refrigerated. Enjoy.
