Samoas Poke Cake
Super easy Samoas Poke Cake has all the flavor of the classic Girl Scour cookies we know and love. This poke cake is make with moist yellow cake and topped with a generous layer of coconut and caramel mixture and chocolate drizzle.
We have such a wonderful food fight today. Who doesn’t live cakes and cheesecakes? Of course everyone does!
Before we move on to the fight, I want to share this AMAZING Samoa Poke Cake. Every year, when girl scouts start selling their cookies, I have to get a few boxes of Samoas for hubby. He likes them a little too much. If left unattended, he will eat an entire box. We will be lucky if he will stop at one box.
While I was baking this cake, he was hovering over me asking if it was ready yet. Seriously, it was not cool because I have a teeny tiny kitchen. I had to lock both of them out while taking the pictures and when I opened the door they were standing there with plates! It was worth the wait though, the cake is unbelievable!
