Chocolate Coconut Cream Poke Cake is unexpectedly moist and absolutely scrumptious. The coconut paired with the chocolate gives it a slight almond flavor.

 

When I was first introduced to poke cake, it was a yellow cake. I wondered if I could do it with a chocolate cake. This was many years ago before poke cakes were the in thing. So I attempted it and loved it. And it’s super easy!

That first poke cake I was introduced to is the Pina Colada Poke Cake. It is also delicious but different. It’s flavor combination is very different.

 

Let’s talk about coconut. Many people don’t like coconut. But when you get down to it, they don’t like the texture of coconut. If the flavor could be separated from texture, they may actually like it. Coconut has a similar flavor to almond. 

Because this recipe uses cream of coconut, you won’t have the texture of coconut. It give people a chance to experience coconut flavor. And often times if people aren’t told that it has coconut in it, they won’t even know. They will think it has almond flavoring. 

What do you use to make the holes in the cake?

I use a straw. Some people like to use the big fat straws. But I just use a straw that I have on hand. You can also use the handle end of a wooden spoon.
