I love making poke cakes when I need an easy dessert to serve a crowd. Some of my favorites are chocolate poke cake, oreo poke cake, and strawberry poke cake. This Pina Colada poke cake is my go to! Think of it as a sheet cake version of your favorite vacation drink. It is so moist and always a hit at potlucks and parties.
ingredients including cake mix, rum extract, cream of coconut, sweetened condensed milk, crushed pineapple, and coconut.
- Cake Mix: I like using yellow cake mix as its rich and buttery, but white mix will do in a pinch. Be sure to grab the ingredients called for on the box as well which are typically butter or oil and eggs.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Be sure not to grab evaporated milk which is thinner and missing the added sugar. Look for it near the cocktail mixers like the tonic water.
- Rum Extract: You can also use real rum if you prefer.
- Cream of Coconut: Make sure you get cream of coconut not coconut cream. The latter is not sweetened
- Pineapple: I like crushed pineapple as it mixes in smoothly. If all you have is tidbits, you can crush them with a potato masher. Be sure to drain well but reserve the juice.
- Cool Whip: Grab extra creamy, trust me!
- Poke While Warm But Not Hot: This will absorb the filling best without tearing the cake or getting soggy.
- Poke Carefully: Aim for around ½–1 inch apart so you get some filling in every bite. If they're too close together the structure of the cake will collapse.
