I love me some toasted coconut. I have a small (BIG) obsession with this ice cream stand called The Velvet Dip here in the summer and they have a toasted coconut cone dip that is out of this world. Toasting coconut brings out this amazing sweetness unlike anything else. Mmm. I found this amazing white cake recipe a few weeks ago on Add a Pinch and it changed my life. I have nothing against cake mix when you’re in a pinch, but, man, nothing compares to homemade vanilla cake. This cake is not dry and crumbly like cake mixes tend to be, but super moist. Ever since I found this recipe I’ve been wanting to make a poke cake completely from scratch. Who doesn’t love pudding poke cakes? Moist cake and moist pudding topped with fluffy whipped cream? Sign me up. And I’ve often made them using cake mix and pudding mix, as many poke cake recipes call for, but this cake recipe got me wondering….. How amazing could a poke cake be if you were to make a scratch cake and slather it with vanilla coconut homemade pudding? And then top it with whipped cream and toasted coconut? Let me tell you. Outstanding. I am a huge coconut lover, but if you don’t like coconut you could leave it out and stick with vanilla, add some other extracts or fresh berries on top. *Recipe and photos updated from the original.
