Thanks, FHG!!! My daughter loves banana anything!!! Sounds so good.

There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do.

My mom used to make a poke cake with Baileys irish creme mixed in with some cinnamon and sweetened condensed milk - pour that over the cake then ""frost "" with cool whip mixed with some of the cinnamon and some powdered sugar and another shot of Baileys.

Yum, yum, FunkyHulaGirl...sounds delicious! I have never made a poke cake. How far down into the cake do you need to poke with the handle of the wooden spoon? Like halfway down into the cake? Please advise me. Thank you, EEL

EEL, I go pretty far down - almost to the bottom - except for poke cupcakes, in which case I go about 3/4 of the way down.

I'd like to try this as our New Year's dessert. Sweetened Condensed Milk is a bit sweet for my taste. Do you use only about 5 oz, or the whole can?
