This cake is one of my favorites, especially for spring! I have made it many times and every time I can never stop at just one slice. It’s not often I use a box cake mix, but with this recipe, you would never know it started from a mix. When you add coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and a splash of half-and-half, the box cake mix becomes so much more.
Banana Tres Leches Cake
Tres Leches is such a creamy and moist cake thanks to its “tres leches” translated in English to “three milks.” Then you throw bananas and coconut into it using this recipe and wow! This is the cake of Heaven =). When I bake this cake I just like to pretend it’s my birthday even when it’s not, so I can eat as much of the cake as I want. This cake was baking in my oven today while I was exercising and boy was it hard to keep going as I could smell the sweet, intoxicating aroma of this cake filling my home. I recommend making it while your home is full of party or dinner guests because they’ll be entranced by the baking smell. I kept imagining racing over, as though I had animal instincts, and diving into the cake with my hands =). This cake is just that good! Wondering what to do with the leftover coconut milk you have remaining after making this recipe, try my Pina Colada Floats, a refreshing tropical delight.
