How to Make Banana Tres Leches Dessert

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan with shortening or cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add one box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs.
3. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.
4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (High altitude: bake 35-40 minutes)
5. Let the cake cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour.
6. Once cool, poke the top of the cake every 1/2 inch with a long-tined fork, wiping the fork occasionally to prevent sticking.
7. In a separate large bowl, whisk together one (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, one (13.5 oz) can evaporated milk, and 1 cup heavy cream until well combined.
8. Slowly and evenly pour the milk mixture over the cooled cake.
9. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, allowing the mixture to fully absorb into the cake.
10. Prepare your favorite frosting (approximately 2 cups) and spread it evenly over the soaked cake.
11. Garnish each serving with sliced bananas and/or toasted coconut flakes, as desired.
