I uttered .... oh MAN! when I bumped into this recipe. It really does look delicious. The recipe author took a very appetizing picture.

@sabatini poke cakes are moist, but not to the point of being mush.

I made a cupcake version of this Almond Joy cake.
Chocolate cupcake, coconut goo, 4 whole almonds on top of coconut and topped with chocolate fudge icing and slivered almonds. I poked a few holes into cupcakes so the coconut goo would sink into the cake.
Oh my...they turned out delish. Took them into my husband's office as they were having an employee thing. Why yes, yes I did have to do a quality control sampling. 😊

ALMOND JOY POKE CAKE - From The Recipe Critic
INGREDIENTS
1 15.25 oz. box Devil's Food Cake Mix
Ingredients on the box to make cake eggs, oil, water
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk or 1 (15 oz.) can cream of coconut
2 c. shredded coconut
3/4 c. sliced almonds
Chocolate Icing
4 Tbl. unsalted butter
4 Tbl. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 Tbl. milk
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare cake mix and bake according to package directions for a 9x13-inch cake.
When cake is done, while it is still warm, poke holes all over the cake using a toothpick or a fork.
Stir together sweetened condensed milk or cream of coconut and the shredded coconut and pour/spread over the warm cake. It will be thick.
Allow to cool. Some of the mixture will sink down into the holes in the cake. When cake is cool, make the chocolate icing.
For the Chocolate Icing: Melt butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Stir in the cocoa powder until no lumps remain. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk.
Stir together until smooth and creamy and immediately pour over the cooled cake. Spread out evenly.
Top with sliced almonds and allow icing to harden. I like to refrigerate the cake overnight, so it's nice and firm and easier to cut into slices.
