Print Recipe

A rich and indulgent poke cake soaked in creamy coconut milk and caramel, topped with whipped cream and toasted coconut for a tropical twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup coconut cream (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup toasted shredded coconut
  • Optional: extra caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, coconut cream, and caramel sauce. Pour the mixture evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
  6. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
  7. Spread whipped cream or whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake.
  8. Sprinkle toasted coconut on top for a crunchy, nutty finish. Drizzle extra caramel sauce if desired.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Make sure the cake is slightly warm but not hot before poking holes; this helps the filling absorb better.’, ‘Use a steady hand when pouring the filling to ensure it evenly saturates the cake.’, ‘If you’re toasting coconut at home, keep an eye on it—it can go from golden to burnt quickly!’, ‘Refrigerating overnight enhances the flavor and texture, making it even more decadent.’]
