Bunco, Bunco, Bunco!!

I hosted my Bunco group's monthly Bunco get together this week and we had a lot of fun (as always!!). When I knew I was hosting July's get together my wheels started turning as to what "prizes" I was going to give away. I immediately knew I wanted to do some kind of wine glass. This is what I decided on:
I filled them with cash and I think they were a hit!

My Bunco girls also wanted the recipe for the dessert I made. Its a coconut poke cake and is one of my FAVORITE desserts! Its really easy to make too! Here is what you will need:

White Cake Mix
14 oz. can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
Cream of Coconut
8 oz. tub of Cool Whip (NOT SHOWN)
Coconut Flakes

First, make the white cake in a 9x13 pan as directed. Once it has cooled, I use a kabob stick to poke holes all throughout the cake. (You could use anything to poke the holes). Then mix the can of sweetened condensed milk with half of the cream of coconut (so about 10 oz.). Once mixed, pour over the cake.
I used about 3/4 of the 21oz. bottle of cream of coconut and it made a little too much. The liquid will not completely soak into the cake, but I think 1/2 of the bottle of cream of coconut would have been a better amount. I like to do this part in advance and let the cake sit like this for an hour or more so that the liquid really gets soaked into the cake. Then spread the tub of Cool Whip over the top of the cake and sprinkle with the coconut flakes until lightly covered. Keep refrigerated.

I forgot to take a picture of the finished product, but I think everyone liked it because this is what was left of it!

This cake is so moist and delicious. A great recipe for the summer!
Enjoy!!
