Cooking At Home: Cuckoo for Coconuts

I love coconut. Coconut milk in a curry, toasted coconut stirred into rice, coconut cookies and candy, and especially­­ – most especially – coconut cake.

Sadly, I don't make coconut recipes all that much at home. I'm the only one that really likes it. Even on my birthday it seems a waste to make a cake that only I want to eat. It's not an everyday cake in our Bakery Department either, though they make the best coconut cake that you can special order anytime. Once in a while, though, I just have to make one, even if it's just for me. This Coconut Poke Cake is so easy to make using a boxed cake mix and is loaded with coconut – coconut shreds, coconut oil, coconut extract, coconut milk and coconut cream. The sweet, coconutty soaking syrup keeps it moist for days. Serve it with tropical fruit, berries or even chocolate. It's a tasty, joyful treat for all of us “coco-nuts.”
