OKLAHOMA COCONUT POKE CAKE
Coconut is the star of this cake. You get a double dose, once in the mixture that soaks into the cake and second with the coconut sprinkled on top. Don't worry though, it's a nice flavor treat...it's not too much coconut. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 (or as Directed on Cake Mix).
- Mix together Cake Mix, Eggs and Oil (as per cake mix instructions).
- Once you have the cake mixed, stir in 1/2 - 1 cup of coconut.
- Pour batter into a 9 x 13 baking pan.
- Bake Cake according to instructions on box, or until it passes the toothpick test.
- Remove cake from oven, and give it just a few minutes to cool a little.
- While cake is still warm, poke holes in it. I use a serving fork to make big enough holes, so all the yummy cream of coconut can really get into the cake.
- Shake the Cream of Coconut very well to make sure the juice and the coconut are mixed well, you may even have to stir a little bit with a spoon after you open the can.
- Pour Cream of Coconut all over the warm cake, make sure to get around the edges too.
- Allow cake to cool and soak up all of the juice, I usually let mine sit overnight.
- Ice with Cool Whip and then put remaining coconut on top.
- If you want you can tint the coconut on top with food coloring for any holiday.
Tips:
- Use fresh coconut: Fresh coconut meat has a sweeter and more flavorful taste than dried or shredded coconut. If you can, try to find fresh coconut at your local grocery store or Asian market.
- Toast the coconut: Toasting the coconut before using it will bring out its flavor and make it more fragrant. You can toast the coconut in a pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is golden brown.
- Use a good quality chocolate pudding mix: The chocolate pudding mix is one of the main ingredients in this cake, so it's important to use a good quality mix. Look for a mix that is made with real chocolate and doesn't contain any artificial flavors or colors.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the cake is done baking. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs on it, the cake needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Oklahoma Coconut Poke Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor. The coconut frosting is light and fluffy, and the toasted coconut adds a nice crunch. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
