Coconut Cream Poke Cake

I have been dying to bake something in my new kitchen! I have too many ideas and not enough time! I have been wanting “something” … you know how it is when you can’t figure out what it is you want exactly. Judging from the Facebook responses, a lot of us have days like that! It’s been driving me crazy trying to figure out what to make. Coconut sounded good to me … poke cake sounded good – so why not combine the two?! I made this Coconut Cream Poke Cake and good gosh, it really hit the spot. And for the record, I enjoyed a piece of this cake with a cup of coffee that had the International Delight Almond Joy coffee creamer in it! It was so delish and it was the perfect little treat! ?

Ok … so the cake – It’s perfect for potlucks and cookouts – ’cause y’all know it is that season, right?! It’s super moist … and since it starts with a boxed cake mix, it’s so easy! In case you’re wondering where to find the cream of coconut, you can usually find it in the international section of the store … or check the alcohol aisle. Goya, Costamar and Coco Lopez are some fairly common brands.
