Time 43m

Number Of Ingredients 14

20 ounces crushed pineapple ((1 can))
1 box yellow cake mix ((dry mix only))
1 cup pineapple juice
3 large eggs
½ cup canola oil
12 ounces cream cheese ((softened))
3.5 ounces instant cheesecake pudding ((1 small box))
5.1 ounces instant banana cream pudding ((1 large box))
2 cups milk
4-5 ripe bananas ((thinly sliced))
16 ounces frozen whipped topping ((thawed))
16 ounces maraschino cherries ((drained and dried))
½ cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Spray an 11x15 baking pan with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the cake mix, pineapple juice (if you didn't get exactly 1 cup of pineapple juice from draining the pineapple, add water to make 1 cup), eggs and oil.
  • Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the center of the cake springs back when you touch it.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • In a small bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the cream cheese until it is smooth. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix together the pudding mixes and milk until smooth.
  • Add the cream cheese by heaping spoonfuls and mix into the pudding using a hand mixer. Continue until all of the cream cheese is mixed in.
  • Spread the pudding mixture over the cooled cake.
  • Place sliced bananas all over the top of the pudding layer.
  • Sprinkle the drained crushed pineapple from step 1 over the bananas.
  • Spread the whipped topping over the pineapple.
  • Top with drained and dried maraschino cherries, nuts and chocolate sauce, or decorate as desired!
  • Cover the cake and store in the refrigerator. It is best to let this cake set for at least 4 hours before serving, if not overnight. This allows the layers to settle.

Tips:

  • To make sure your cake is moist and fluffy, cream together the butter and sugar until light and airy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor. Ripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense banana flavor than green bananas.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For a classic banana split cake, use three different flavors of ice cream: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. You can also top the cake with whipped cream, chopped nuts, and a cherry.
  • Get creative with your toppings! You can use any type of ice cream, fruit, or candy that you like. Get creative and have fun with it!

Conclusion:

Banana split cake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this banana split cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
