How to Make Coconut Cloud Poke Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your yellow cake mix box. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions.
  2. Pour batter into a 9x13 inch baking pan and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean (usually around 25-30 minutes). Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
  3. Once cooled, poke holes all over the top of the cake using a wooden skewer or the handle of a spoon.
  4. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Pour the warm coconut mixture evenly over the poked cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  6. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Before serving, top with Cool Whip and garnish with toasted coconut flakes (optional).
