Hawaiian Pineapple Coconut Poke Cake

Hawaiian Pineapple Coconut Poke Cake ? The poke cake phenomenon reached a fever pitch at one point.  It seemed that poke cakes in every single flavor you could imagine were everywhere.  Perhaps it?s the simplicity of preparation or the fun of coming up with creative new flavor combinations.  Nonetheless, poke cakes remain.  Poke cakes can be filled with any flavor of pudding, caramel, mousse, custard, sweetened condensed milk, jello and a plethora of other fillings too long to list.  All of them are delectable!

Poke cakes, are one of those simple to make luscious desserts that seem to appeal to the masses.  Perfect potluck fare.  As much as I try, I just can?t turn this into gourmet, its just not meant to be.  Have fun with this cake, it?s not too terribly serious, and bakers of all skill levels can be successful making any flavor.
