Coconut Cake

Ingredients:
White Cake Mix (plus all ingred. called for)
14 oz. can of cream of coconut (found in the mixed drinks area)

Make and bake the cake according to package directions. While hot, poke holes all over the cake. Mix the sweetened condensed milk and coconut milk and pour over cake. Cool cake completely (liquid will be absorbed into cake). Once cake is cooled, top with cool whip and coconut flakes. Keep refrigerated.

Found this one at www.stolenmomentscooking.com

Ingredients:
2 1/2 c. finely crushed graham crackers (could use animal crackers or nilla wafers)
1 c. butter or margarine, divided
1 c. brown sugar
3 bananas, sliced
2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. nutmeg

Melt 1/2 c. butter/margarine and stir together with crushed crackers. Press into the bottom of a greased 13x9 pan. Bake at 350 for 8-10 min. Cool completely.

While the crust cools, melt remaining 1/2 c. butter in a small skillet. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 3-5 min., until brown sugar is completely dissolved. Add sliced bananas and continue cooking another 3-5 min., until syrupy in consistency. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and nutmeg. Pour and spread evenly on top of crust. Let cool completely.

Whisk together pudding mix and milk according to pkg directions. Pour on top of the cooled bananas foster layer. Top with cool whip and refrigerate at least an hour before serving.
