The diversity of students, and the experience they brought, on my programme was priceless. It was incredibly helpful that everyone had work experience. This really grounded the conversations in reality.
Alumna Alison Anderson talks about her experience of studying online, and how she applied her learning to her work.
"Studying on this programme will develop your capacity to contribute to effective policy-making and implementation and to manage in complex and rapidly-changing public service environments."

Once your form is submitted you will receive an automated email from the university and then it will be forwarded to the department. Once the form arrives in the department you will receive an email which will detail any additional documents which we might need before your application is forwarded to the Admissions Committee. We may ask for a short piece of written work, or perhaps to arrange a Skype interview. Subject to the prompt receipt of references and any additional documentation we aim to let all applicants know the outcome of their application within 1 month.
When registering for an applicant account please make a note of your username and password so that you will be able to login again later. If your application is accepted you will need to access this site to accept your offer.

If you use English on a day to day basis within your workplace please ask your referee to detail this as part of their reference letter and we may be able to waive the requirement for a test. Full details of the universoty language requirements (and exemptions for distance learners can be found here).
If you have any queries about the application process please email email@example.com and we will be happy to assist.
Our approach to online learning is distinctive and may be different from your general perceptions about this mode of study.
The key points about our approach are:
I like the online studies because everyone contributes in the class discussions, something that usually doesn't happen in face to face classes because you will always have people who dominate discussions and others are quiet so from that perspective online study is great for me.
Each module is structured into nine weekly units, each of which addresses a theme (The first two modules last for ten weeks to enable additional study skills support). Within each unit you will:
The ten credit modules are designed to develop some important transferable skills that will support your study and increase your ability to transfer your learning to the workplace. One of these modules will help you to prepare for the Dissertation, while the others deal with 'Reflective Practice for Professional Development 1 and 2' and 'Digital Government: Policy and Practice'. These modules are designed around independent study, guided by the module tutor.
During these less intensive modules you will:
Tutor support, with clear milestones, will be on hand throughout.
The programmes have been designed to provide you with the following, for each module that you study:
A key feature of this programme is the availability and quality of support that we offer - whether academic, administrative or technical. You will be supported by:
All our staff, whether academic, pastoral, administrative or technical, will reply to queries within 2 working days at the latest, and usually much sooner.
The Masters in Public Policy and Management (MA) was launched in 2003. The chart below shows the awards that our current graduates have left with.
The flexibility of the programme is such that you can opt to leave with a Certificate if circumstances change and you are no longer able to commit to two years of study. If you leave but find you have more free time in the future the university welcomes returning students (subject to certain time restrictions).

Rational people might _think_ that would be a no-brainer. Sadly, in New Hampshire, idiot legislators (but I repeat myself) are trying to repeal 'stand your ground' in favor of 'be faster than a speeding bullet' despite the inconvenient facts that the even the bill's sponsor can't cite a single case of 'stand your ground' being abused, and that a Nashua man successfully invoked 'stand your ground' after the police charged _him_ for brandishing a firearm to defend himself and a wounded friend from a violent mob.ReplyDelete
In Indiana, their Supreme Court ruled that c/i/t/i/z/e/n/s/ serfs have no right to defend themselves from illegal assaults by police (because your next of kin can sue after you're dead and somehow bring you back to life, apparently), sparking 'no-brainer' legislation to the contrary... which police unions naturally tried to fight.

HHS announced plans to create a broad shift to a less hierarchical health care system and give patients and families a greater role in their own care. A new initiative aims to expand patients' access to electronic health records, mobile health applications and devices, and secure electronic messaging between patients and providers, according to an article published in the journal Health Affairs. "Engaged patients ... are more likely than others to participate in preventive and healthy practices, self-manage their conditions and achieve better outcomes," said Farzad Mostashari, the national coordinator for health IT at HHS.

'Agent Gates' a subversive treat for 'Downton Abbey' lovers
I'm not a "Downton Abbey" devotee, but I still laughed many times while reading "Agent Gates and the Secret Adventures of Devonton Abbey," a graphic-novel parody by writer Camaren Subhiyah and illustrator Kyle Hilton.
In this comic parody, Jack Gates (the counterpart to John Bates in the real series) is a perfectly suitable valet, but he's also a brilliant, daring, butt-kicking secret agent. That leg that was crippled in the Boer War? After he disables a deadly German agent with a roundhouse kick, Gates explains: »Read Full Blog Post

The 8th Trio For Justice event was held at Huay Tung Tao Park. Please click here for the map!
Raising awareness for access to justice became a walk in the park at BABSEACLE and BABSEACLE Foundation's 8th Trio For Justice on Saturday, 21 January, 2017 at Huay Tung Tao Park. The proceeds will support the work BABSEACLE Foundation and our partners do with universities to establish and support legal clinics in Thailand, as well as BABSEACLE's projects supporting university-based and community-based legal clinics throughout the region — working on issues of land law and sustainable development, the rights of stateless persons, rights of persons with HIV, migrant worker rights, prisoners' rights, juvenile justice, access to health care, and the rights of transgender people and sex workers.
The Trio For Justice comprised a half-marathon, a 10K and a 5K run/walk as well as a 3K fun run/walk. Similar to last year, the Trio For Justice was part of Asia Access to Justice Week, taking place simultaneously with the popular Access to Justice Public Interest Fair (A2J). These were followed by the Access to Justice Celebration Dinner in the evening of the 21st and an Access to Justice themed movie night under the stars on Sunday the 22nd. Asia Access to Justice Week.
The Access to Justice Fair offered various organisations and foundations in the Southeast Asian region the opportunity to share their experiences and efforts in furthering access to justice. The A2J Fair was a way for like-minded organisations to come together in their shared objectives, of creating awareness about social issues faced by marginalized groups. The A2J Fair last year included attendees from organisations such as Amnesty International Thailand, The Children's Organization of Southeast Asia (COSA), Justice Without Borders, Prince of Songkla University, the University of Phayao, and Urban Light to name a few. This was a great opportunity for all participants to network and exchange thoughts on social justice topics.
In the evening, the Access to Justice Celebration Dinner rounds off an exciting day. The dinner is held to celebrate the gathering of people during the Access to Justice Week including those whose attended the workshops, the Trio For Justice and A2J Fair. This amazing A2J and cultural exchange gives all participants a chance to deepen connections with each other and replenish after great accomplishments. The dinner is held at the BABSEACLE Volunteer House at 8 Soi 6, T Suandok, T Suthep where a buffet and drinks await the guests.

Successful Access to Justice Weekend 2016 and 7th Trio For Justice
The 2nd Access to Justice Weekend took place in Chiang Mai, Thailand, between the 21st and the 24th of January 2016. The event, organized by Bridges Across Borders Southeast Asia Community Legal Education Initiative (BABSEACLE), comprised of a 2-day workshop; the 5th Access to Justice Public Interest Fair; the 7th Trio For Justice run/walk; the Silent Auction, which raised money for Access to Justice and Pro Bono Initiatives in the region; the Access to Justice Celebration Dinner; and the legal-themed Movie Night under the stars. This justice awareness event brought together many students, teachers, trainers, non-government-organizations, and individuals that wanted to improve their knowledge on access to justice and rule of law.
The Annual Access to Justice (A2J) Weekend workshops took place over two days and
had several clinical legal education (CLE) oriented sessions run by trainers from BABSEACLE and its international partners. The workshop hosted 57 participants originating from the Asia region and several international trainers. There were sessions on the practical skills of case management, negotiation, and monitoring and evaluation, as well as sessions which were focused on building values and pro bono ethics. The workshop was a great success and was well attended. The participants actively participated in all of the sessions and learned about a variety of skills applicable to their profession. The interactive teaching methods were well received as participants were constantly engaged and thinking critically.
On Saturday 23rd at the Huey Tueng Tao Park, three events took place simultaneously: the 7th Trio For Justice run/walk, the Access to Justice (A2J) Public Interest Fair and the Silent Auction. Over 400 people participated in the run and explored the booths at the fair. The Trio For Justice is one of the cornerstone events in the fundraising calendar of BABSEACLE. It also helps to create significant awareness and promote dialogue about many of the social justice issues that the two organizations deal with on a daily basis. It comprised a half-marathon run, a 10K run/walk and a 5K run/walk as well as a 3K fun run/walk. The day started with a fun Zumba session, to help those who had trouble getting up early in the morning to be ready for the run. At 7am the run started, and what a magnificent day it turned out to be, the sun was shining when the last runner crossed the finish line. People had a chance to write on their bibs' what justice related issue they were running for, and some of the examples included: equality, respect, education, for their family, future, happiness, joy and health. The event was perceived as a fun and challenging run, surrounded by a beautiful environment.
The A2J Public Interest Fair hosted an array of organizations and foundations that work with access to justice and public interest issues in the Asian region. They had the opportunity to share their experiences and efforts in furthering access to justice and public interest issues in the region. Attendees were intrigued and eager to learn more and engage with the access to justice and public interest issues.
Next to the Fair we set up a Silent Auction, which had opened on Thursday during the workshop. The Silent Auction helped to support many of the impactful justice education, ethics and pro bono initiatives BABSEACLE and its partners are engaged in throughout the Asia region, as well as helping BABSEACLE to fund the many pro bono and CLE Workshops within the region. A total of 4500Baht was raised during the Silent Auction.
On the Saturday evening, the Access to Justice Celebration Dinner was held at the BABSEACLE Volunteer House, to all together enjoy the atmosphere of the weekend and to have a deserved good meal after the physical effort of the day! The event was enriched by the cultural performances organized by the participants themselves, who sang an array of songs, and danced traditional dances from their home countries.
The Access to Justice Weekend ended with a legal themed movie night "under the stars", held at the BABSEACLE Volunteer House on Sunday 24th. The rain didn't stop us from having a fabulous time, so we moved indoors! Two episodes from the shows The Verdict and The Sun, the Moon and the Truth were shown. Both the videos reflected upon the themes of justice and rule of law, with a question and answers after each to ensure there was a fair level of understanding.
The Access to Justice (A2J) Weekend was a great success! We would like to thank all our supporters, participants, volunteers, staff, and friends that joined it.
We would like also to announce that next year the Access to Justice Weekend will turn into the Asia Access to Justice Week. It will be held in Chiang Mai from the 16th to the 22nd of January 2017. Mark your calendars!
Hope to see you all again next year!

The Expenditure Impacts of Individual Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and their Students on the Scottish Economy under Devolution: Homogeneity or Heterogeneity?
Comparing each of the twenty Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Scotland as separate sectors in an Input-Output table suggests their expenditure patterns are homogenous and that the apparent heterogeneity of their impacts is primarily driven by scale. However, a disaggregation of their income by source reveals a disparity in their dependence upon funding from the devolved Scottish Government and their ability to draw in income/funding from external sources. Acknowledging the binding budget constraint of the Scottish Government and deriving balanced expenditure multipliers reveals large differences in the net-expenditure impact of HEIs upon the Scottish economy, with the source of variation being the origin of income. Applying a novel treatment of student expenditure impacts, identifying the amount of exogenous spending per student, modifies the heterogeneity of the overall expenditure impacts. On balance this suggests that the impacts of impending budget cut-backs will be quite different by institution depending on their sensitivity to public funding. However, predicting the outcome of budget cutbacks at the margin is problematic as we do not know whether public and external incomes are complements or substitutions (and indeed this may vary between individual HEIs).

A man and woman were playing basketball and engaged in "trash talk" during the game. During the next game the male complainant stood on the sidelines and continued to trash talk the female. At first the complainant said the female grabbed his neck but later said she grabbed his shirt collar. He was able to break free of her grasp, bringing an end to the incident.
The complainant then approached the female's boyfriend and asked how he would have reacted if he had punched his girlfriend. The complainant said he did not know how to handle the situation so he approached the front desk and called police to document the incident. The two were on opposing teams and guarding each other. The female told police while on the court there were no problems between the two but he would not stop trash talking her from the sidelines. She became more irritated the more he was taunting her.
She said she got frustrated, walked over, grabbed him by his shirt and asked, "What is your problem?" She said she did not intend to cause physical harm and was caught up in the heat of the moment. She said she did not understand why he called police nearly two hours after the incident. When police arrived the complainant told them the incident had just occurred. When police told him multiple witnesses said the incident occurred two hours ago he did not respond. The complainant changed his mind several times as to whether he wanted to press charges or not. He requested a police lieutenant because he thought the responding officer wasn't handling the case properly. The complainant received an apology from the female after the lieutenant arrived. He then became accusatory and uncooperative. The female said she understood further investigative processes and would cooperate as needed.
• About 30 minutes later on the same night at the same athletic club, an employee called police after finding an abandoned gym bag in the gym. The employee said this is common and usually bags are placed in lost and found. While looking through the bag to find a possible owner's name, the employee found two bags of what he believed to be marijuana and called police.
The bag also contained two back braces, seven cloth straps and two bottles of fingernail polish remover. The green, leafy plant-like material was collected as evidence.

I love coconut flavored foods. This looks so delicious!

I love when you do poke cakes, they always look SO good!
Mmmmmm, I adore coconut. And this would be SO perfect on a day like today!
Sooo soft and delicious..
This looks really yummy! I love coconut cake. Makes me want to make one now! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Brandie, first time commenting but long time reader. I made your TACO BAKE last night and it was delicious, thanks for the recipe!!
This cake is so delicious looking. I absolutely adore these poke cakes. You just can't go wrong with them.
Yum! This cake looks so yummy. You can't go wrong with coconut.
That's my girl! =-) Another wonderful doctored up cake from Miz Brandie. I made this many years ago…oh how excellent! Looks divine…
What a great recipe, this cake looks super delicious! 🙂
I love the ease of this recipe and I love coconut. How long will the cake last?
I attended a function in Texas a few years back and they served this cake. The lady who made it gave my Aunt and I the recipe and I have shared it many times.
It is our "favorite" cake! My darling husband thinks he is the luckiest husband in the world when I bake this cake for him. When Papa is happy, Mama is happy!!
Thanks for sharing. Sunny
Sounds yummy! I'm going to make this one for sure.
A beautiful and delicious cake – it looks so luscious!
Mary x
Simple, quick and delicious rules!!
Oh my, that looks good!
I made this last night for my anniversary, and my husband LOVED it!! Keep 'em coming, please!!
My mom had her own cake business growing up and she had a recipe very similar to this. She would get a can of crushed pineapple and stir the juice of it with the cream of coconut and use the Pineapple on the cake itself. It was a top seller and my personal favorite!
This was always a family favorite this time of the year, especially for Easter. My aunt would always make it. Now I make it. The only difference in my recipe and yours is I mix a can of sweetened condensed milk to the cream of coconut before pouring over the cake. Oh so gooey and rich! Also my recipe calls for the yellow cake mix with the pudding in the mix (which I never can find anymore of I just use the butter recipe cake mix now).
Oh and I forgot I also add a an of drained crushed pineapple to the top of the cake before spreading on the cool whip.
Oh i make this one too "cool &your creamy coconut cake" yum!!
Okay I officially love you now. This is spectacular.
My daughter has requested a coconut cake for her birtday. This looks like a winner!
Oh, I absolutely LOVE coconut! I'm pinning this recipe and am going to try it out ASAP!
Found you over at The Better Baker who linked up to my linky party today. I'd love for you to link up as well!
Hope you're having a great day!
Oh my goodness, this is the cake for me! I love coconut. Great recipe! I'm off to find some cream of coconut.
I love Coconut and been wanting to make a Coconut cake..but just haven't done it cause mostly me likes it and not the rest of the family…this looks and sounds great can't wait to make it thank you for sharing it..Janice.
I am thinking of adding some run flavoring to the cake and maybe a bit of coffee in place of the water in cake mix..as anyone done that?
I just discovered your blog, and Im sooo excited! Trying this one today, and look forward to many more! Thanks!
I just found your blog through pinterest. I make a version of this cake and its always a hit. I add coconut milk powder to a can of condensed sweetened milk because I can't find coconut cream. I also add crushed pineapple to my topping – usually real whipped cream. Its so tropical tasting and delicious.
I made this exactly like you said except I used a dark chocolate cake mix…….delicious just like a Mounds bar
This is Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! Hugs.
I love this cake! I make it all the time and have used white cake, yellow, and strawberriy cake as well. They were all delicious. I also use the condensed milk but either way this cake is amazing!
I make this with a devils food mix and poke holes to the bottom with a wooden spoon and mix the cream of coconut with eagle brand and pour it in the holes, refrigerate and then top with cool whip a yummy summer cake!
Hi! Just found your poke cake recipes! Thanks for sharing! Just wanted to let you know that my family has been making a version of the coconut cake for years. It's one of our favorites! For our version we combine a can of Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk with the Coco Lopez. I thought you might want to try it! Thanks again!
Hey Brandie – Tonya says hi and so do I. =D Love ya Girl!
coconut is one of my favorite flavors! Thanks for this one!
I love this cake! One of our family favorites, only we call it "Wikki-wikki" cake (quick-quick!). I sometimes add coconut to the cake batter too! And it is so good cold! Thanks ~~Robyne~~
I made this cake for my mom, it turned out very yummy!
I too love coconut. I just discovered your site today and am looking forward to using this recipe.
But I was thinking I might use a chocolate cake mix instead. My favorite candy bar is Mounds; dark chocolate & coconut. Also I find it most annoying when I have to mess around
separating egg whites from the yoke.
Thank you for sharing your delicious sounding recipes.
I want to leave work and go make this right now!I looove coconut and this looks amazing! all your recipes look AMAZING and i'm glad you have printable versions too!
I made this cake today for my family and it was amazing. The only thing I did differently was used a Duncan Hines Coconut Supreme Cake instead of a white cake. It is taking every once of my willpower not to go back into the kitchen and get another piece right now! My husband and family loved it–and we aren't even likers of coconut. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
I just made this cake amazing ! I wil put fresh strawberry's on top ! I tried a small bite Yum !
I have been making this cake for a long time! It is always a hit at our family get togethers!!
I just made this and it was wonderful! I was initially skeptic that it would be too sweet but i was wrong. it was perfect! Thank you!!! I love your recipes 🙂
Hi I just want to say I love your page, and I'm having trouble finding cream of coconut what else can I use?
I've only ever made this with the cream of coconut so I'm really not sure what would be a good substitute. You could maybe make this as a pudding poke cake and use coconut cream pudding. Or maybe you could get some sweetened condensed milk and add some coconut extract to it. 🙂
I made this yesterday morning for a birthday bash for a former neighbor. There were 7 of us neigbhors that helped her celebrate and they all loved it right away. It is such a light cake, absolutely delicious! For those who are having trouble finding Coco Lopez, I found it in the baking section with canned milk. Harris Teeter sells it in 8.5 oz. cans to to make up the 15 oz. I had to open both cans but the second can I only used 6 1/2 oz. of it..Sometimes you will find it in with cocktail mixers..it is thick like sweetened condensed milk. I think out of a 9×13 glass dish, there may be 3 pieces left. I did share two pieces with a neighbor last evening. I'm going to try the oreo poke cake next.
Thank you for sharing. I have always loved anything coconut. I am making this cake today for me and my sister in law who is Filipina. I know we both will enjoy it so much. 🙂
Brought this to a teen bible study group tonight and it was a huge hit! People got seconds, and others tried to, unsuccessfully…disappointed that it was all gone! I too mixed the Cream of Coconut with sweetened condensed milk and thought it was wonderful (though I think it would've been amazing exactly as posted too). Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!
This cake was "out of this world delicious" Everybody asked for a second piece..
I will definately make this often. Would you believe my local Harris Teeter store had Coco Lopez in with canned milk? I looked in all the other stores in aisle where cocktail mixers would be.
SO happy y'all have had success with this one!! Thank you for taking the time to come back to let me know. I sure do appreciate it!
Anonymous – that is a dream of mine to write one. Maybe one day!! You are so sweet! ~Brandie
This looks amazing! I am planning to make it soon. How far in advance can you make it?
I gave this a try and it was awesome! Thanks so much for sharing it.
I love coconut, can't get enough of it. And it was a huge hit with all my friends as well!
Idon't have time to look trough all these wonderful and delish sounding recipes….do you have a link to a list of all of them? Thanks.
I can't find the cream of coconut where I live so do you know how this would be with coconut pudding? This sounds so wonderful, maybe I can find a site online for the cream of coconut. Thanks for posting all the yummy recipes 🙂
I try this cake ,and it great. My family love it.
This is a family favorite of ours. Except I make it with dark chocolate cake mix. I like the contrast between the dark cake and white fluffy top. It's a picnic favorite.
Yummy! All your Poke cakes are phenom!!
This is in the oven as I write. Fixin' it for our Easter lunch. Thanks and Happy Easter! paula
Made te cake last weekend. awesome. I did toast the coconut, to make it look prettier. it was a huge hit and it will be a great addition to our father's day gathering! thanks!
I've been making this cake for over 25 years and its a big favorite with family and friends! Love your site, tasty and easy, my kind of cooking.
This was the best coconut cake ever! Thanks so much, I shared it:-)
Could this be done in 2 8-inch round pans, then after cooled, stack it with the whipped topping & coconut in-between? Can't wait to taste this, either way! Thank you SOOO much for sharing the recipe!
Yes, yes you can. And you don't have to 'poke' the cake-if you split the layers in half, pour the coco lopez evenly across all four, then let it soak in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Ananymous – You'd have to be careful trying to stack it with the "Pokes" in it. It may try to fall apart on you. Oh, but it sounds yummy. Going to the store on my way home to pick up coconut and Lopez. 🙂
If you make instant vanilla pudding (according to the package directions), add 1/2 tsp coconut extract, then mix it in with the cool whip, the frosting is better! Toasting the coconut is also a nice touch.
My cake is in the oven right now. Can't wait to try this cake. It sounds yummy and looks even better. Thanks for all these great recipes that use stuff that I normally have around the house. Nothing fancy, just tastes that way.
I recently made a layer cake very similar to this and found it was delicious! I must add that this recipe was shared with me by a friends mother and to be honest I thought it sounded terrible when she told me what we were going to do….LOL…but I was there to help and this is what we did and it turned out to be awesome!
The difference was the following:
Make three 8 or 9" layers, poke holes in all 3.
You will need to make a "filling" using a 16 oz tub of sour cream, approx. 2 cups of powdered sugar and a large hand full of flaked coconut. We didn't measure each of these items exactly, we just judged as we went with it to make a good filling consistency with the amount of coconut we thought would be desirable.
Starting with the first layer pour the cream of coconut over it lightly and allow to "seep" in.
Spread a layer of the "filling" over the cake layer.
Follow with the next two layers in the same fashion.
Once your cake is assembled and the cream of coconut and filling is applied to each layer frost entire cake with whipped topping and garnish with flaked coconut.
I have made this with chocolate cake. Yummy!!
Have you ever made this as a round, layer cake? I think it would make for a prettier presentation at a party.
I didn't have coconut cream, but had coconut milk. When i use coconut milk for this recipe, i add in the sweetened condensed milk with it for a sweeter taste. comes out beautifully.
I have made this cake for years, it is one of my favorite cakes of all time, but I use the cream of coconut and also mix a can of sweetened condensed milk with it and pour over the cake then top with the whipped topping and then shredded coconut. It is always a winner when taken to any family event or get together.
Goya, which is a Spanish/Latino/Hispanic line of products IS carried in Walmart and they have the cream of coconut, under $2.00. This cake is awesome with lots of ohhhs and ahhhh,
I have made this cake many times!! I usually put some coconut into the cake batter before I bake it and then I stir the rest of the coconut into the whipped topping before frosting the cake. It's kind of lumpy looking but keeps the coconut from drying out. If you want, you can sprinkle a little reserved coconut on top so you don't see the lumpy frosting. Once I made a chocolate ganache and spread that over the topping and it tasted exactly like a Mounds bar!! Let the ganache cool some so it doesn't melt the topping though!! Extra yummy and delicious!! 🙂
I made this cake and my husband loved it. I toasted the coconut though.
I make this cake for Christmas every year. I put pineapple juice instead of water in the cake mix and left over fruit from the can on top of the cake before I frost it, and then pecans on top of the frosting. My family insists I make this cake every Christmas. I enjoy reading and trying your recipes. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, anytime I make a coconut cake I always use coconut milk instead of water in the cake mix, comes out very rich and people wonder what my secret is, but this adds even more richness I will have to try using both and see how that works. Yummmy Thanks again.
I bought vanilla by accident instead of white….is there a big difference and did I mess up?? I just made this cake and waiting for it to cool down so I can add the frosting and coconut. Can't wait to taste this…looks delicious!!
I made this cake for my daughter's birthday, and everyone raved about it. The next day my daughter said again how yummy it was. After reading all reviews, I did add 3/4 of a can of sweetened condensed milk. I think I could have used the whole can as I did not find the cake "overly" sweet. This cake was so easy to make. I made it the day before, then refrigerated it.
I think between the coconut cream layer and the whipped cream layer it would be good with a layer of raspberry jam. yum
Made this for Thanksgiving and it got rave reviews!
OMG! I just made this for the first time. It was soooo good. The best cake I have ever made.
I had this for my work Christmas party and it was a hit!! It tasted just as good as it looked.
I've been making a very similar cake for years and I love it. The only differences: I use coconut milk instead of cream of coconut (not sure how different these are), and I mix sweetened condensed milk with the coconut milk before pouring in the cake.
I have friends who love and hope coconut cake around the holidays. This is so much easier looking forward to trying this one out on the guys. Thanks
This really is the Best Recipe Ever! My Grandmomma gave me this as her go to recipe Years ago, & I really thought I had sum kinda family secret recipe til I seen it here, LOL! But I luv ur site & I've Lots N common with u, I live Near P'cola! Born and raised, married a construction man, & traveled about 7 years with him, only to settle back dwn N my home town! LOL. Thanks again!
I am the only one in the house that loves coconut, So i made this cake, cut out enough for 2 -days and put the rest in the freezer in a freezer bowl and covered with wax paper..the cake lasts a good three months, maybe longer..and it actually taste really good partially frozen!!
My mom celebrated her 80th birthday on April 3rd and the coconut cream poke cake was what she wanted for her bd cake. It's her favorite and a breeze to make. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I made this tonight for my family. It was a HUGE hit!! I didn't change a thing!!
Thank you!!
I made the coconut cream poke cake today…SO GOOD!!
I have been following you on facebook and trying many of your recipes. When I tell my husband that I'm trying something new, he always asks if it's one of your recipes! You have two new fans. Keep up your great posts, and love your commentary with all the recipes.
This looks so good! I think I might try this using a lemon cake or incorporate something lemony…I'm a sucker for lemon/lime ith coconut!
This is one of my favorite poke cakes! Only difference is that I add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk to my cream of coconut to pour over. It makes it extra special gooey!
Hi Brandie, love the site, but there is something with it that doesn't fully download the page on my computer, its always too wide for my screen so have to scroll sideways, but that's not a big problem, the real problem is that the little download circle on my page continues to circle and doesn't or rarely ever stops, I am not sure what is still being downloaded since nothing seems to be missing from the page, but it must be one of the ads or something, this ties up the computer and makes it so much slower. Also your print button on the printable page doesn't work, it can be clicked, but it simply says its fixing the page for printing and never does print it.
Hi I made this today, cause we dont have frozen whipped topping I used stable cream..
Everyone loves its. Its not too sweet and is moist and creamy and delicious
Thank you!
Even better, if that is possible, if you will use frozen coconut instead.
In a pinch, I find coconut cream in my super market baking section! But I have found the best coconut cream at Tropical Traditions.com! I love anything with coconut! I have all ingredients on hand and my kitchen is calling me to make this tonight! Thanks for another great recipe!
Just read aii the recipes on the coconut cream poke cake will make this for our bingo.But just wanted all your reader to know that your reg. gro. store may order the coconut cream if you ask for it mine did I needed it for another baking cake
Going to try this.. but with a wacky cake recipe instead of a box. Add a little extra flour in place of the cocoa and then coconut flavoring and see what happens. 🙂
I make a cake almost like this…I call it 'Luscious Coconut Cake' I add a can of Eagles Brand Condensed Milk to the cream of coconut…..the people at out church seems to look forward to this cake.
I toast the coconut before putting on cake and use sweetned condensed milk on top of the cream of coconut
I make this cake a lot, so easy and delicious. I use a yellow cake mix though, but I make it the same way. Great to take to a potluck.
Love this recipe!! Easy to make and very very good!
I used to make this at a little diner that I ran for awhile. I did mix the Coco Lopez with a can of sweetened condensed milk and made it extra moist and toasted some coconut for the top. YUM! Melting your favorite candy bar into the sweentened milk and pouring on top produces a similarly wonderful cake!
This is making me extremely hungry and now I just MUST make it and try it :-0
This sounds so yummy and easy to make. Going to give it a go today. Problem is that I live in New Zealand and we don't have the frozen whipped topping. What is it please and what could I substitute it with?? Thanks.
Love the cake but definitely does not need the condensed cream. Way to rich for both of them
I made this cake yesterday for my husbands birthday and everyone loved it, it was very moist and delicious. I have made a variation before with the sweetened condensed milk and it was too sweet. Thank you for letting us know where to find the cream of coconut, I would have never found it! And thanks for the great recipe, definitely making again!
my dad loves anything coconut! I made this for his birthday. I made a round cake and made cupcakes to give as favors for the guests at the party. They loved them!
Have you ever made this with a seven-minute egg white frosting? I made something similar before I found out about "poke-cakes" lol, and it was pretty amazing. I find that I like the mellow fluffiness of the egg white frosting a lot more than whipped cream…
Can't wait to try this one!
I made this and my daughter asked for it for her birthday. Bringing to family picnic, can't wait to see what the coconut lovers have to say….or should I say EAT!!! Thanks for sharing
That is awesome, so glad you daughter loved it so much. You are going to be the talk of the picnic, hope they devour it!
I use pineapple juice instead of water in the cake. Gives it a pina colada taste.

When Pride Fighting Championships was an active organization, their rules for fighting on the ground were a little different than the Unified Rules that we know today. In Pride, fighters were able to use kicks and knees to grounded opponents.
That changes the dynamic of the ground game and submissions. Positions like side control and north-south can be very dangerous on defense, but you have more tools to use on offense.
Those strikes can open up submission opportunities, and some of these guys were masters at that.
In Pride, it wasn't just the little guys who could score submissions. Some of the best submission artists were heavyweights.
Let's take a look at the most prolific submission artists in Pride history.

Mind and body exercises such as qigong, tai chi, and yoga may help relieve fatigue. These exercises combine activities like movement, stretching, balance, and controlled breathing with spiritual activity such as meditation.
A schedule of activity and rest
Changes in daily routine make the body use more energy. A regular routine can improve sleep and help the patient have more energy to be active during the day. A program of regular times for activity and rest help to make the most of a patient's energy. A health care professional can help patients plan an exercise program and decide which activities are the most important to them.
The following sleep habits may help decrease fatigue:
- Lie in bed for sleep only.
- Take naps for no longer than one hour.
- Avoid noise (like television and radio) during sleep.
Cancer patients should not try to do too much. Health professionals have information about support services to help with daily activities and responsibilities.
Talk therapy
Therapists use talk therapy (counseling) to treat certain emotional or behavioral disorders. This kind of therapy helps patients change how they think and feel about certain things. Talk therapy may help decrease a cancer patient's fatigue by working on problems related to cancer that make fatigue worse, such as:
- Stress from coping with cancer.
- Fear that the cancer may come back.
- Feeling hopeless about fatigue.
- Not enough social support.
- A pattern of sleep and activity that changes from day to day.
Self-care for fatigue
Fatigue is often a short-term side effect of treatment, but in some patients it becomes chronic (continues as a long-term condition). Managing chronic fatigue includes adjusting to life with fatigue. Learning the facts about cancer-related fatigue may help you cope with it better and improve quality of life. For example, some patients in treatment worry that having fatigue means the treatment is not working. Anxiety over this can make fatigue even worse. Some patients may feel that reporting fatigue is complaining. Knowing that fatigue is a normal side effect that should be reported and treated may make it easier to manage.
Working with the health care team to learn about the following may help patients cope with fatigue:
- How to cope with fatigue as a normal side effect of treatment.
- The possible medical causes of fatigue such as not enough fluids, electrolyte imbalance, breathing problems, or anemia.
- How patterns of rest and activity affect fatigue.
- How to schedule important daily activities during times of less fatigue, and give up less important activities.
- The kinds of activities that may help you feel more alert (walking, gardening, bird-watching).
- The difference between fatigue and depression.
- How to avoid or change situations that cause stress.
- How to avoid or change activities that cause fatigue.
- How to change your surroundings to help decrease fatigue.
- Exercise programs that are right for you and decrease fatigue.
- The importance of eating enough food and drinking enough fluids.
- Physical therapy for patients who have nerve problems or muscle weakness.
- Respiratory therapy for patients who have trouble breathing.
- How to tell if treatments for fatigue are working.

Latest news and updates from the fifth and final Hillsborough pre-inquest hearing at Church House in Westminster, London.
Families, survivors and supporters will be in attendance as coroner Lord Justice Goldring hears representations from legal teams and investigators ahead of the new inquests, set to begin on March 31. Lord Goldring has used previous hearings to set out his views on how the inquests will be run, including the collection of evidence and the number of experts who will be asked to give their opinions.
The hearing comes days after a Newsnight report revealed witness criticisms of police at the scene were not properly recorded by West Midlands Police, who conducted the initial investigation in 1989 - video and reaction here.
The full inquests into the 96 deaths are expected to take a minimum of six months and will be held at a venue in Birchwood Park, Warrington.
Proceedings begin at 10am and are expected to last until around 4pm - stay tuned to the ECHO website for reports and video reaction. You can view our full Hillsborough archive here

LOS ANGELES -- Southern California will decide today whether nearly 11,000 transit buses and garbage trucks must convert to cleaner-burning alternative fuels -- a move that could lead to similar requirements across the country.
''We will see a sea of clean-fuel vehicles in California and around the country'' if the rules are passed, said Gail Ruderman Feuer of the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Under the plan, believed to be the first of its kind in the nation, every new vehicle purchased by public fleet operators will have to run on alternative fuels -- natural gas, methanol, electricity or fuel cells.
The rules are the first phase of a change, to take effect over two years, that could ultimately affect 120,000 public and private vehicles in Southern California from airport taxis to school buses.
Advocates say it will give a boost to the alternative-fuel industry and force automakers to build more vehicles operating on such fuel.
Detroit Diesel Corp., which builds about a third of the engines for heavy-duty trucks in the United States, already manufactures compressed natural gas engines, said John Duerr, manager of regulatory activities.
He said the Southern California plan, while important, would probably not force Detroit Diesel and other manufacturers to change direction, since many are already building engines for alternative fuels.
The regulation will cover government agencies from the city to the federal level, universities and transit agencies in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, affecting 3,700 transit buses and 7,200 garbage trucks, said Bill Kelly, a spokesman for the South Coast Air Quality Management District, which devised the plan.
Only newly purchased vehicles would be affected. Fleets could continue to operate existing diesel buses and trucks.
The rules would also require public agencies in Southern California to buy passenger cars with the lowest emissions on the market, eventually covering 86,000 vehicles.
School buses are not included in this first stage, but the air quality agency is expected to deal with them in August. Other proposals will target heavy-duty public vehicles, street sweepers, and taxis and shuttles that serve airports.
California's smog problems led Congress to make the state the only one that can set air-quality standards more stringent than Washington's. But once California sets its stricter standards, other states are free to adopt them, too, and some have done so in recent years.
Environmental groups and the staff of the air quality agency say the proposal is a step toward getting the state off diesel fuel, which an agency study found is responsible for more than 70 percent of toxic substances in the air of the smog-plagued Los Angeles basin. One of every 1,000 cancer cases in the region can be attributed to diesel toxins, according to the study.
The higher cost and limited availability of the fuels have some worried, though. And the petroleum industry said there should be a place for cleaner-burning diesel in the new rules.
''The basic question of why can't we meet your standards with our fuel is one that begs for an answer,'' said Scott Macdonald, a spokesman for the oil industry-financed South Coast Clean Air Partnership.
Macdonald said natural gas has its own environmental problems, producing more greenhouse gases than diesel.
Making the switch to natural gas isn't as difficult as some operators might think, said Alberto Guardado, operations manager for Waste Management's Palm Desert fleet, which has used garbage trucks with compressed natural gas for about four years.
Richard Cromwell III, general manager of Sunline Transit Agency in Thousand Palms, estimates he will save $200,000 a year by converting his 100-vehicle fleet of buses and other vehicles to compressed natural gas.
The natural gas buses cost about $350,000, about $50,000 more than their diesel equivalents, he said. But savings kick in because the fuel is cheaper and the buses require less maintenance, he said.

A couple of the Wildcats' defensive backs made a distinct impression on Johnson over the weekend.
"Rob Golden was my host, but you could say that it was both him and (fellow New Orleans-area native) Jonathan McKnight hosting me," Johnson said. "They were talking about what I could bring to the table; how I could make a big impact there and that I could play as a freshman.
"I had never met Jonathan McKnight (John Curtis Christian alum) but I had heard about him."
Where do things stand today with Johnson's recruitment?
"Right now, Arizona is number one," he said. "I'm taking a visit to Southern Miss on Friday, and then I might visit either Pittsburgh or Minnesota the following week. I'm not sure about that last visit. I'm just taking things day-by-day for now."
Johnson orginally committed to Southern Miss, and there's still a chance that he could sign with the Eagles next month.
