Hi friends! How are have you been? Do you love quick & easy dessert recipes? We sure do, which is why we are 100% in love with this Chocolate Coconut Poke Cake.

Each week we make a dessert on Friday afternoon for us to enjoy throughout the weekend. Most of us watch what we eat during the week & allow ourselves the weekend to not feel deprived. It makes for a great balance & even has me down 16 lbs since January -so it’s totally worth it in my opinion. One of our most requested recipes is this Chocolate Coconut Poke Cake.

While this recipe is almost effortless when it comes to dessert, I do really love that it is simple enough for my girls to make on their own. Granted they are 17 & 15 & know their way around the kitchen.

But I like most of my desserts made my way. Fortunately, this one can’t really be messed up so I can hand the duties off & enjoy the cake later. Added bonus- they do the dishes too. Total win for me.

Just bake the recipe according to the directions on the box. But before you bake – add a little coconut extract to the mix. It just adds a bit more depth to the coconut flavor.
