’m really thrilled to be sharing this next recipe. First of all, because we made it recently to celebrate my Momma’s birthday. Secondly, because it’s another one of those easy cakes to make but tastes outta-this-world good.
Coconut Cream Poke Cake
Last year my Mom really wanted some Pea Pickin’ Cake to celebrate her special day. And because she loves those tropical flavors so much, I decided to make her a Coconut Cream Poke Cake this year. The cake is so moist and has such a great creamy, coconut flavor that I think even folks who are not coconut lovers will fall in love with this one!

The original recipe also called for a small can of sweetened condensed milk. I have since found that it really isn’t necessary in this cake. It is already plenty sweet and creamy with just the cream of coconut, but if you’d like, you can certainly add it to your recipe.
You want to use Cream of Coconut – not coconut milk. Cream of Coconut can usually be found in the alcohol aisle of your grocery store. It tends to be near all the margarita mixes.
