Mounds Poke Cake
If you’re a fan of the iconic Mounds candy bar, get ready to go nuts over this Mounds Poke Cake! This decadent dessert combines rich chocolate cake with a luscious coconut cream filling and frosting for a coconut-chocolate dream.
As a poke cake, it takes moisture and flavor to the next level by quite literally poking holes into the warm cake and pouring in a coconut milk soak. The result is an ultra-moist, melt-in-your-mouth cake with pockets of creamy coconut throughout.
What is a Poke Cake?
A poke cake is a beloved American dessert where you bake a regular cake, then poke holes all over the top while it’s still warm. Those holes get filled with a sweet liquid like pudding, condensed milk, or flavored gelatin to infuse the cake with extra moisture and flavor as it cools and absorbs the filling.
For this Mounds-inspired version, we’re using a combination of sweetened condensed milk and coconut cream for the most luscious coconut soak. It soaks right into the chocolate cake, creating bursts of rich coconut flavor in every bite.
