- 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.

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!
