Negin Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 What can you suggest to top a Poked Holes Cake that will be: a White Cake with Sweetened Condensed milk and Cream of Coconut poured into it, other than the flaked coconut? Anything else? If not, if only flaked coconut works ... do you have any recipes or ideas for other Poked Holes Cakes? I like quick and easy - using boxed cake mixes ;). Thank you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsrevmeg Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 We do a vanilla cake, poke holes and pour dark chocolate (melted) mixed with sweetened condensed milk, and top with two cups of heavy cream, whipped with a teaspoon of vanilla and two tablespoons of powdered sugar. I think the cream would be good on top of your cake, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I didn't know anyone else made these! My dad used to make vanilla cake with poked holes and chocolate pudding poured over it. It was so yummy right out of the fridge!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Sliced strawberries in addition to the coconut? We do 'poke' cakes, too. We like chocolate cake with chocolate pudding poured over it, or yellow cake with chocolate pudding. White cake is good with vanilla pudding.

Cinder Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 The only poked holes cake I ever had was yellow cake with strawberry jello poured over and then topped with cool whip. The jello was made with less water, but I don't have a recipe, so I don't know how much less. Sorry, no help after all. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 These are all wonderful. Thank you so much :grouphug:. I've copied and pasted. This is for an event tomorrow. I won't be having any myself (hcg diet), but the dc decided that for this time, we'll go with Kell's recipe. I do plan on trying them all, however. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murmer Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Google Tres Leches Cake...it is a cake that has holes poked in it and then Evaporated milk, sweeten condensed milk, and cream mixed and poured on top. Its on my list to make for our special dessert this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynyel Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I make this... I don't know if it is what you consider a poked hole cake but you do poke holes in it! LEMON JELLO CAKE 1 pkg. lemon cake mix 1 pkg. lemon Jello 3/4 c. cold water 4 eggs 3/4 c. vegetable oil 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar Juice of 2 lemons Mix cake mix, Jello and cold water. Beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Add eggs, then oil and beat 5 minutes. Pour into greased 9x13x2 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice. While cake is still hot, prick cake with fork all over, pour glaze over cake. I make this a lot in the summer, it is a good light cake! Well until you add the whipped topping :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCyndiGirl Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 This is what I make: Bake chocolate cake mix in 9x13 pan. While in oven make cook n serve chocolate pudding. As soon as cake comes out of oven, frost with chocolate frosting then pour hot pudding over it. The whole thing will sink down and become rather dense and fudgy and rich and perfect and aren't you on HCG? :D It makes ya go like this---> :001_huh: because it's so dang good!

Negin Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 and aren't you on HCG?:D Yep. But I won't be eating any. I have to cook for a crowd tomorrow. These recipes are all so good. Thank you everyone. Taking notes. I LOVE Tres Leches cakes ... I won't even think about it while I'm on hcg, never mind look up the recipe. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need measurements - how much dark chocolate and how much condensed milk? Thanks again. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamom Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 My mom makes one with a white or yellow cake, pokes holes and pours any color jello over it. I don't know how she makes the jello, but after cooling it in the fridge tops it with whipped cream and it's supper yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacia Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Wow, this brings back memories. My grandmother used to make a poked hole coconut cake. She kept it in the freezer & it was the.best.cake.ever when it was still icy cold. :drool5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 We do a vanilla cake, poke holes and pour dark chocolate (melted) mixed with sweetened condensed milk, and top with two cups of heavy cream, whipped with a teaspoon of vanilla and two tablespoons of powdered sugar. I think the cream would be good on top of your cake, also. This one turned out wonderful. Everyone loved it. Thank you. Have copied and pasted, and even started a separate word document for just poked holes cakes. :D Here are the two that I have made the most often: LEMONADE CAKE Bake a lemon cake as per box directions in 9X13 pan. While it is baking, thaw a 6 oz can of frozen lemonade concentrate (If you can't find a 6 oz, use part of a large can) Mix thawed lemonade concentrate with 1 cup powdered sugar. Poke holes in top of cake while warm with a wooden spoon. Pour lemonade concentrate/powdered sugar mix over warm cake and let it cool completely (I chilled mine in the fridge) Frost with cool whip and garnish with slices of fresh lemon. This is best when kept chilled. Very refreshing! Pretty tart but very tasty! COCONUT POKE CAKE SERVES 24 1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix 1 (14 ounce) can cream of coconut (You can use Coconut Milk if you don’t want the cake to be too sweet) Half a 14-oz can of sweetened condensed milk (7 ounces total) [OR Omit Altogether if You Don’t Want Cake to be too sweet!] 1 (16 ounce) package frozen whipped topping, thawed OR you can make your own whipped cream 1 (8 ounce) package flaked coconut (toast it slightly) 1. Prepare and bake white cake mix according to package directions. Remove cake from oven. While still hot, using a wooden spoon OR large pronged fork/utility fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake. The more holes, the better! 2. Mix cream of coconut and sweetened condensed milk together. Pour over the top of the still hot cake. Let cake cool completely. BEST TO LET CAKE SIT OVERNIGHT BEFORE FROSTING!!! 3. Mix coconut into whipped topping and top the cake. Some more I saw: Better-Than-Almost-Anything Cake Chocolate Thunder Cake Key Lime Pie Poke Cake - I particularly love tart and fruity desserts :D Tres Leches Cake ... mmm :) Off to copy and paste all the other wonderful ideas and recipes you've given. Thank you, all. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
