Banoffee pie is a thing that people seem to either love or hate, and we are definitely of the former opinion. Bananas, toffee, and cream (and we like ours with chocolate)… yum. What’s not to like about that combo?

We’re also of the opinion that poke cakes are the perfect vehicle for fun flavor combinations and a banoffee version seemed like it would work perfectly. And it did. We love this cake!

A poke cake is what it sounds like: a cake with holes poked in it. You then pour pudding or jello over the top of the cake so that all of that flavor soaks down into the holes and you end up with a moist cake studded with extra flavor. So of course banoffee pie translated perfectly to poke cake! Our version has a rich and chocolate-caramel cake base that’s permeated with banana pudding and topped with whipped topping and fresh bananas and walnuts. It’ll make a banoffee lover out of anyone.
