Ingredients

• 1 box white cake mix
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup mashed bananas, about 2 medium bananas
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 1 container fluffy white frosting
• banana slices and/or toasted coconut, to garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan.

In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, eggs and mashed bananas with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.

Bake 33 to 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

Poke top of cake every 1/2-inch with long-tined fork, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking. In large bowl, stir together condensed milk, coconut milk, and whipping cream. Carefully pour evenly over top of cake. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight until mixture is absorbed into cake.

Spread frosting over cake. Garnish each serving with banana slices and/or toasted coconut. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

Sprinkle your favorite toasted nuts over the top of the cake.
