Ingredients for this Coconut Poke Cake Recipe:

• 1 (15.25 ounce) package white cake mix
• 1 (14 ounce) can cream of coconut
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 (8 ounce) package flaked coconut

Directions:

1. Prepare the cake:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Prepare the white cake mix according to the instructions on the box.
   • Bake the cake in a 9×13-inch baking pan for the time recommended on the cake box.
   • Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
2. Poke the cake:
   • After cooling, use the back of a spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the cake. Make sure to go deep but not all the way to the bottom.
3. Make the coconut mixture:
   • In a bowl, combine the cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until well blended.
4. Pour over the cake:
   • Slowly pour the coconut mixture evenly over the poked cake, making sure it fills the holes. Let the cake absorb the mixture, which should take about 15-20 minutes.
5. Top with whipped topping:
   • Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the cake.
6. Add the coconut flakes:
   • Sprinkle the flaked coconut evenly on top of the whipped topping.
7. Chill and serve:
   • Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
