How to Make Banana Tres Leches Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13-inch non-stick baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, water, oil, and mashed bananas. (See ingredient list for exact measurements)
- Beat with an electric mixer until thoroughly combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour.
- While the cake cools, prepare the tres leches mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together evaporated milk, condensed milk, heavy cream, and sugar until well combined.
- Once the cake is cool, use a fork or toothpick to poke numerous holes all over the top. The more holes, the better the milk mixture will absorb.
- Slowly pour half of the tres leches mixture evenly over the cake.
- Let it sit for 10 minutes, then pour the remaining mixture over the cake, ensuring it's fully absorbed.
- Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Meanwhile, prepare the whipped cream topping: In a chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cake has chilled, spread the whipped cream evenly over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Enjoy your incredibly moist and flavorful Banana Tres Leches Cake!
