Coconut Cream Poke Cake - Guide Recipe
Moist and delicious Coconut Cream Poke Cake filled with coconut cream pudding and topped with a creamy whipped topping.
I have a confession to make. I love those little Pepperidge Farm cakes. You know the ones that you see in the freezer section at the grocery store. Not only are those cake cute but they remind me of my beloved great-grandmother , especially the Coconut Layer Cake. I remember she always had them. Every time I have a slice of Pepperidge Farm cake I always think of her.
This moist and delicious Coconut Cream Poke Cake reminds me of the flavors of the Pepperidge Farm Coconut Layer Cake. It starts with a simple white cake mix dressed up with some coconut flakes and coconut extract. It’s filled with coconut cream pudding and topped with creamy whipped topping and sweetened coconut flakes. It’s super easy to make but tastes like it just came from a bakery!
