PIÑA COLADA POKE CAKE

Pina Colada Poke Cake

  • Author: Your Daily Hit

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (18.25 oz) yellow cake mix (plus additional ingredients required on the box, such as eggs, oil, and water)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (15 oz) cream of coconut
  • 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • Pineapple chunks and maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven according to the yellow cake mix box instructions. Then, grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan to ensure your cake comes out perfectly.
  2. Bake the Cake: Follow the box instructions to mix and bake your cake. Once baked, allow it to cool slightly before moving on to the next step.
  1. Mix the Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut until well combined. This mixture will serve as the soul of your tropical cake.
  2. Poke and Pour: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, gently poke holes all over the top of the warm cake. Carefully pour the coconut mixture over the cake, filling the holes and soaking the sponge thoroughly.
  1. Whipped Topping: Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the thawed whipped topping across the cake, ensuring a smooth and creamy layer.
  2. Coconut Sprinkle: Add an extra layer of flavor and texture by sprinkling the shredded coconut over the whipped topping.
  1. Tropical Touch: For that ultimate tropical feel, garnish the cake with pineapple chunks and maraschino cherries.
  2. Refrigerate: Let the cake chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. This step is crucial for allowing the flavors to meld together and the cake to set properly.
  • Poke Deeply: Ensure the holes you poke are deep enough to let the coconut mixture seep through and moisten the cake thoroughly.
  • Let It Chill: Giving your cake ample time to chill is vital. This patience pays off with perfectly set flavors and textures.
  • Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your garnishes. Tropical fruits like mango or kiwi can add an extra burst of flavor and color.
