Learn how to make delicious Mounds Poke Cake. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 box of chocolate cake mix (or your favorite homemade recipe)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup cream of coconut
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly.
In a large bowl, mix the chocolate cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake according to the cake mix instructions or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
Once baked, let the cake cool for about 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake, spacing them about an inch apart.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the top of the cake. I love how this step reminds me of helping my abuela sprinkle toppings on her desserts — a small action full of love.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread this whipped cream over the cake.
Finally, sprinkle chocolate chips over the whipped cream layer. The contrast of the creamy coconut and the rich chocolate is truly delightful.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld together beautifully.
