Banana Split Cake for Dessert

Hello dear friends! Yesterday I shared my Valentine's post with you and today I will post my Banana Split Cake recipe.

This recipe makes a lot and is very rich so you will only want to partake of a little piece at a time. I must warn you, it's heavy on the calories, but very worth it!



Banana Split Cake

You will need a 13X9 inch pan.

Melt 3/4 cup of butter
Mix in 3 cups graham wafer crumbs
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool



Beat together:
1 cup softened butter
2-3 cups icing sugar
1 or 2 eggs beaten
Spread on top of cooled graham crumb base




Cover the icing base with:
3 bananas, sliced and sprinkled with lemon juice




Cover bananas with a 14 or 19 oz can of well -drained crushed pineapple.




Cover fruit with one container of Cool Whip or real whipped cream if eaten right away.




Decorate with a can of cherry pie filling or fresh, sliced strawberries. For Valentine's Day, a heart made from strawberries would be pretty.



Keep in refrigerator. Enjoy!



Your family and friends are going to love this! It's a big hit whenever I make it. 


Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

  3. I have a question about the raw eggs. Are they safe to consume? I want to make this recipe soon and want to be sure. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

  4. Maxine, the eggs shouldn't be a problem. Most functions don't last any more than two and a half to three hours. Other than that, it is kept in the fridge. Thanks for your visit.

    My mother in law used to make this a lot and
    it was always a treat.
    You asked about the macaroons....no,I didn't bake them but there are
    lots of recipes online if you would like to try them.
    Hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day.

    1. Gina, only the graham crust bottom is baked. This dessert is kept in the refrigerator until served. It's delish! :-)

  22. Dear Sandi:
    I just came back to reread the comments about the eggs as I wondered the same thing as other people.
