EASY COCONUT CREAM POKE CAKE | Baking with Box Cake Mix for a Bakery Style Cake

[@conniejenson6797]

Today is my sister's birthday. She is 71. I'm making this coconut cream cake just for her. She loves it and we haven't had it in a long time.

[@lendouma3224]

I bet if you used coconut milk instead of the milk, you’d be in coconut heaven.

[@dorigutman6217]

@Bruno - I think she's suggesting using canned coconut milk instead of regular milk with the cake mix before baking to infuse even more coconut flavor to the cake itself. But if anyone has tried that Coco Lopez cream of coconut before it is MUCH more strongly coconut flavored than regular coconut milk. It is most often used for those super coconutty mixed drinks like pina coladas. It's intense. So having that all through the middle of the cake through the fork holes is plenty. I made another very similar coconut cake with this Coco Lopez before (for a Moana-themed birthday for my little girl) and it was the most coconut-flavored, moist delicious thing! I had forgotten about it until seeing her open the can in this video! We'll be making this version tomorrow. 🙂

[@Poopipantz1]

​@@dorigutman6217your right. She was saying using coconut milk in the cake batter. Your also right about the coconut cream being plenty of coconut flavor. A Moana themed bday party sounds so cute and coconut flavored cake would have been perfect.

[@saffronlealle464]

Oh my God that sounds amazing!! I'm def gonna give your idea a try!!

[@pmtzlvn]

Sounds delicious

[@jackieevans8031]

That looks delicious, I'm gonna make it in a couple days for company. I don't ever use cool whip anymore I make my own with cream. Sooo much better for you and much tastier. My family loves it.

[@gladysrivera8426]

I love coconut i grow up eating coco every week i come from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 we have 2 coco palms 🌴 in our back yard and my father used to go up to get the coco the young coco are delicious i miss those days😢😢😢😢

[@rennie823]

I just gained 5lbs watching this video!!! You are the best🌹

[@CatherinesPlates]

LOL!

[@kathyrama4570]

Just found this video. I love coconut. My Dad was in the South PACIFIC during WWII. He had never eaten coconut and his first introduction was ripened on the tree. He bought us fresh coconut every year. I cannot wait to make this.

[@barbratell8312]

I think I will add a light topping of toasted coconut just for looks. It looks delicious and I’m making tonight!

[@joyslove3858]

That will def take it up a notch. I love toasted coconut too

[@connick7361]

For me it would definitely be toasted coconut! I'm with the husband on this and raw coconut would ruin the cake for me!

[@joncollins5279]

I have made this for a long time but I add a can of crush pinapple after the cream of coconut and before icing. It make a delicious pineapple coconut cake. You must try it.

[@Lwah0812]

Ohhh, I’ll have to try it.

[@krislantow9900]

Yessss. This is what I was thinking.. piña colada!

[@SPahina]

I used half of coconut cream and condensed milk. Found it was to much for 9x13. Tasty

[@cathyleland1501]

I had to make this cake for my dad every time I visited him in Tennessee. I live in Michigan. He is like me, loves 🌴 coconut.

[@cathys949]

This is a fabulous cake! I almost never use cake mix, I think they taste fake. But in this recipe, cake mix tastes like heaven! Add a little vanilla extract to help boost the natural flavor, and use melted butter like Catherine does in the video. I also never use cool whip - only natural whipped cream, please! - except in this cake. It is so easy, holds up well in the fridge, and tastes divine! If you like coconut, this cake will be a crowd pleaser.

[@shannonreeser5865]

Have you tried Trader Joe's vanilla cake mix? It doesn't have that fake taste. Also, if you do use a cake mix, always substitute butter for oil and milk or half and half for water and it makes a big difference! Agree about never using cool whip, but I see how this would work for a lot of people just trying to whip out a dessert for friends and family!

[@RoyalWatcher1985]

I never had cool whip but i don't think I like it.

[@liberty8424]

Also use milk, half & half, or half cream\milk instead of water.

[@loiscutting1716]

Love coconut cake and coconut pie!!

[@horseshoe3345]

I'm glad you opened that can of cream of coconut in front of us. I've never used that and I would have thought something is wrong with this!

[@CatherinesPlates]

I can understand that.

[@horseshoe3345]

@@CatherinesPlates Yes, thank you. I learn a lot from you. Like the cocoa powder tip in this same video.🙂

[@marycrisco]

You can put the can in warm water to melt it before opening it.

[@nickhayburn1919]

My wife is going to.make this cake for my father in laws 82nd bday tomorrow. He loves coconut cakes. He usually wants a Pepperidge Farm coconut cake, but I know he will enjoy this one!

[@CatherinesPlates]

That's wonderful! We hope he has a awesome birthday.

[@nickhayburn1919]

Thank you!

This is cake would be great with Duncan Hines Pineapple cake mix. A sprinkle of crushed pineapple with the coconut. Yummy

[@CatherinesPlates]

That sounds really delicious with pineapple.

I've been making this for at least 40 years and the Cream of Coconut has always been in the liquor aisle at my Walmart and the grocery stores I used to buy it from. I already planned last week to make it for the missionaries. I had to laugh when this popped up on KZbin tonight.

I made this cake and oh my goodness, it was one of the best cakes ive ever put in my mouth! Only thing I did different was, i used coconut milk but man was it good!!! I also added walnuts to my batter AND on top of the cake under the coconut.

[@milome305]

Super delicious recipe. I love coconut cake and everything that have coconut. The only think I will add here 1-2 tsp Rum inside the mixture of coconut with condensed milk. That will be AWSOME FLAVOR. Then cover like she did.

[@denagustafson6070]

Thank you! I wondered whether it would be good with chocolate cake. Sounds perfect!

[@sandiefletcher4943]

So many recipes call for cheese, but I have a friend who is not crazy about cheese. So when I fix a recipe that calls for a shredded cheese topping I put cheese on half of the dish and substitute buttered bread crumbs on the other half. Now I am not suggesting you put buttered bread crumbs on the cake, but hubby might prefer that you simply not add the coconut to his portion. Today my brother was just talking about wanting a coconut cake. I will definitely have to make your recipe for him. It looks delicious!

[@CatherinesPlates]

My husband didn't want me to do half with and half without, he wanted it to be a full coconut cake for the video.

[@klimber10001]

Hi Katherine! I've made a similar recipe for years and it's ALWAYS a hit. For extra coconut flavor I add a little coconut extract into the cake batter. I love this recipe so much! 🥥☕🧡

Try using the spray on just the bottom of the pan not the sides. The cake can “climb” easier and will be higher. Use a sharp knife if needed to release when cooled. Works! 🎂🍰

[@nannymac47]

I am diabetic but I would be sincerely tempted to have some of this cake anyway. I love coconut cream pie too, piled mile high with real whipped cream.

[@Sharyourvoice]

I HATE THE DRY COCONUT, BUT IF YOU GET THE FROZEN COCONUT IT IS DELICIOUS! YOU CAN ADD A LITTLE COCONUT MILK IN A SEPARATE BOWL WITH SMALL AMOUND OF COCONUT & POKE HOLES IN THE CAKE & DRISSLE THE JUICE ON EACH LAYER BEFORE ICING THE CAKE..YUMMY!💖🎂💖🎂🍰💖🎂💖🙏💖🍰🙏💖🍰GOD BLESS, & THANKS FOR THE RECIPE!💖🙏💖

For those who think they don't like the texture of coconut, use flaked coconut as is used here, instead of shredded. Shredded always feels like I'm eating hair. Flaked is softer, I love it! I will be making this for sure!!

Variations and results! Background: I am a huge coconut fan and especially when it comes to coconut cake and coconut cream pie! My mother and grandmother used to make me both when I was a kid in elementary and high school. Today I am 51 and my mother is 87! 🙏We hadn't coconut cake in years and came across this recipe to try! We ended up making it 3 times with some variations each time. 1. We made one just as shown here, and we have never thought of ir used condensed milk. We did use the poke method with a wooden spoon over the fork method. We both found that condensed milk is overpowering, rich, and sweet. It was okay, but it was missing something! 2. Second attempt... same thing cake wise, although I added 1 cup of coconut flakes to my high power, high speed blender to chop very fine. This was then added to the cake batter. Also, I added 1 teaspoon of coconut extract to the batter along with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. As for the topping, we used 1 teaspoon of coconut extract to the can of coconut milk and can of condensed milk. It's was much better, but the condensed milk is overpowering. 3. Attempt 3: Batter a as prepared as above with butter instead or oil, milk instead of water, 1 teaspoon of coconut,1 cup of finely shredded coconut to the mix as well as 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger. Love spices! Topping used 1 1/2 cans coconut milk and 1/2 can of condensed milk and topped with cool whip and 1 cup coconut flakes. We liked version 3, the best, and the condensed milk was not as Iverson bearing and rich. Far far better, especially if you are a coconut lover like us! We are coconut-ed out at the moment, but in the near future, I do plan to try our version 3, but with a chocolate cake mmic! Hope this gives everyone some ideas how you can adjust to your taste likes and flavors!!!

[@MaginFlaBlueChoice]

Sorry, didn’t see Dana’s comments referencing chopping coconut! It’s so much better that way!

[@sandiefletcher4943]

Perhaps if you would prepare the cake using the tines of a fork instead of the wooden spoon the condensed milk might not be too overpowering. Just a thought. But thanks for your feedback so I won't use the spoon myself. Lol!

Don't know that the size matters. Except Jumbo probably adds more moistness.) • 1 1/2 C Milk (Original Recipe ONLY called for 1 C, (But I misread the cup measurements & the extra 1/2 C = moister cake. So I always go with 1 1/2 C milk!) • 2/3 C Oil - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - • 1 can Rich & Creamy frosting 'Coconut Pecan' (MUST BE *BETTY CROCKER* BRAND!!!) DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat oven to 325⁰ F. 2. In mixing bowl, add together first 4 ingredients and mix til combined. 3. Add *Betty Crocker* FROSTING to prepared cake mix, mixing only til thoroughly combined & use a spatula to make sure no frosting is lying in bottom of bowl. 4. Heavily coat a bundt pan w/ Non-Stick Spray. 5. Pour cake & frosting mixture into pan. 6. BAKE: 325⁰ TIME: 1 HOUR 7. COOL cake in the bundt pan on a wire rack for 20 MINS. 8. TURN cake out onto a cake plate to finish COOLING. * Most Delicious & Easiest Pound Cake! * Enjoy! Please forgive me if posting this recipe is out of line. ✝️ 🙏 🙌 ❤️ 👏 🙏 ✝️

I have made a coconut poke cake similar to this one. Instead of Coco Lopez, I used milk and frozen coconut, heated, etc and poured into the holes. Top it off with cool whip and another bag of frozen coconut. Oh and I use white cake mix which is so pretty and clean looking especially at Christmas! I am anxious to try this recipe so I can compare. I know the one I have made has won several awards. They are probably very similar. Thx for the video!

[@dorigutman6217]

Just a note for others - regular coconut milk is nowhere near as intensely coconut-flavored as the Coco Lopez stuff, which is sweet, intense but very natural tasting coconut flavor. It's what makes pina coladas so coconut-ty. Definitely try the recipe as-is first with the Coco Lopez if you can.

[@leapintothewild]

Frozen coconut is the BEST -- fresh, intense flavor and much softer than the dried flakes. My mom always used it on her fancy 4-layer coconut cake.
