Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into the batter. Stir in the mashed bananas until completely incorporated. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. While the cake is baking, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, heavy cream, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. When the cake is done, poke holes in it with a fork or toothpick. Pour the milk mixture slowly over the cake, allowing it to soak in between additions. Let cool completely before serving.

To serve, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes over the top of the cake. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
