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:

- You can use any flavor of pudding mix you like, but coconut, vanilla, and chocolate are all good choices.
- Be sure to use unsweetened coconut milk in the pudding mixture to avoid the cake being too sweet.
- If you don't have any sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of butter in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Then stir in 1 cup of evaporated milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool.
