COCONUT PUDDING POKE CAKE

COCONUT CREAM PIE – This Coconut Cream Pie has an authentic pie crust, and is filled with a creamy coconut custard, and topped with a mile high pile of whipped cream and dusted with toasted coconut!

I have shared two more savory type recipes with you this week, both the Crazy About BBQ and The BEST Burger — I decided it was high time for something sweet!  This Coconut Cake will suit the sweet tooth just fine.  It’s super duper easy to make.  In fact, I have made a chocolate version, too.

Layers of yellow cake, coconut pudding, whipped cream and toasted coconut will have you swooning! This coconut cake is for the coconut cake and pie lovers alike!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 box yellow cake mix + eggs, oil and water to prepare according to package instructions
• 1½ teaspoons coconut extract
• 4 cups milk
• 2 (3.4 ounce) boxes of coconut pudding
• 2 packages Dream Whip, prepared according to package instructions + ½ teaspoon coconut extract
• 2 cups toasted coconut

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare cake according to package instructions in a 9x13 baking dish. (don't forget to add the coconut extract to your mix!) Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
2. While cake is baking, prepare the two boxes of coconut pudding with the four cups of milk. Place in fridge until ready to use.
3. When cake has cooled a few minutes, with the handle of a wooden spoon (or something similar in size) make poke holes all over the cake, poking all of the way down to the bottom of the pan.
4. Pour the pudding mixture over the warm cake, using the back of a spoon to spread the pudding over the top, making sure it gets down in the holes. Place cake in the refrigerator to completely cool.
5. Prepare Dream Whip according to package instructions. Spread over the top of the pudding. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
6. Refrigerate until ready to serve, and keep in the refrigerator.
