What is a Poke Cake?
A poke cake is a beloved American dessert where you bake a regular cake, then poke holes all over the top while it’s still warm.
Those holes get filled with a sweet liquid like pudding, condensed milk, or flavored gelatin to infuse the cake with extra moisture and flavor as it cools and absorbs the filling.
For this Mounds-inspired version, we’re using a combination of sweetened condensed milk and coconut cream for the most luscious coconut soak. It soaks right into the chocolate cake, creating bursts of rich coconut flavor in every bite.
