Well, I guess I am the minority but I didn't think this cake was that great. I am wondering if the sweetened condensed milk pushed it over the edge. Adding the cream of coconut & SCM makes 2 cups of liquid - I feel it was overkill. I may give this another whirl without the SCM. Sorry folks.

This cake was pretty easy to make but what a mess it made!! I also found the taste of the condensed milk to be a bit overwhelming and it made the cake sticky. I made it for Easter and found it to be not impressive enough to serve so I had to run up to the bakery and buy a cake at the last minute. Sorry, but won't be making this cake again.

I made this for Easter and all I can say is WOW!!! Easy and delicious. I accidentally bought coconut milk instead of coconut cream and it still turned out fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.

I made this for my son's birthday and it was enjoyed by everyone. They all wanted the recipe. I didn't use the sweetened condensed milk because I didn't have and it turned out great. I didn't use the cool whip or flakes, but did top with sf/ff vanilla pudding and we all loved it. Next time I think I will buy two cans of the cream of coconut and replace some of the liquid in the cake batter with it instead and add the remainder on the cake. I also may try spreading caramel pecan frosting on it.

OMG!! I don't make a habit of doing reviews but this one deserves gushing over. I use a bundt pan with French Vanilla cake mix and it absorbes almost all of the liquid. I refrigerate it overnight before icing and serving. For the icing I use a can of whipped Whipped Cream Icing (Betty Crocker), 8 ounce container of Cool Whip, 1-2 tsp of coconut extract and a ton of coconut flakes (no sprinkling here). For my friends that are not as fond of coconut, the cake is perfect without any icing - so moist! As others have stated, the Cream of Coconut is in the drink mixers section. I will be experimenting with other flavors to 'poke' into my cakes, I'll let you know how it goes!

This was so easy, but I did make a few alterations. I added 2 teaspoons of coconut extract to the cake mix for a more home made taste. I also took the advice of others so I only used the cream of coconut without the sweetened condensed milk.( this was plenty moist ) I used cool whip french vanilla and topped with coconut. It was a big hit!! No one would believe that this was so easy and quick to make!! Thanks for this shorter version, it will quickly become one of my favorites!

Whenever I bring this to a barbeque or party, I always get rave reviews and am asked for the recipe. Guys especially love this cake. This last time I made it with low fat sweetened condensed milk and I did not notice a difference. I usually do not pour all of the mixture on top because it seems like the cake gets soaked with the first 3/4 of the mixture. GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!

WARNING: This cake will do evil things to your bathroom scales. It will sabotage any coconut-lover's best efforts at self control. I had definitely better not make it again for a while! When you try it, make sure to puts lots and lots of holes in it--with something bigger than a table fork--especially in the center of the cake, and also pour the cream of coconut/milk mixture over it in increments, so that the middle of the cake can absorb some. I toasted my coconut to put on the top, and didn't use quite 8 ounces. Next time, I will only sprinkle the coconut on half of the cake. My husband likes coconut flavor, but hates the texture of it. Then we can quietly devour it together.

I just realized that I've never reviewed this recipe! I have actually made this several times now and will never make another coconut cake than this one. As other reviewers have said, I am now officially a member of the "coconut poke cake cult"!!! It is so delicious and moist, not overly sweet (as I was afraid of), and sooooo easy!! The fiance said it was better than mom's and I almost keeled over!! :) You can't ask for anything more than that!
