Coconut Cream Poke Cake
Ingredients
- 1 c butter or margarine
- 4 large eggs
- 2 egg yokes
- 2 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 1/2 c Grandpa's Kitchen Flour Blend
- 2 c sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 c buttermilk
- 1 8 oz can coconut cream
- 1 8 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 16 oz tub whipped cream
- 1 c coconut toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream softened butter until smooth (butter needs to be very soft, not just room temperature, but not melted)
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well before adding the next egg.
- Add egg yolks one at a time as well, beating well in between.
- Combine all the dry ingredients together: flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. I don’t usually do this even when the recipe requires it, but I do for this recipe. Alternate adding the flour mixture with the buttermilk, incorporating well each time.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top of the cake is golden brown. Cool completely before frosting.
- Use a wooden spoon to poke holes in the cake 1 inch apart
- Mix together 1 can of coconut cream and 1 can of sweetened condensed milk.
- Pour the mixture over the cake while it's warm, then let the cool completely in the fridge.
- Top with whipped cream and toasted coconut. Enjoy right away or keep the cake in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
