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.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the batter, mixing until just combined: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake.
- Divide the batter between two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans: This will help to ensure that the cakes bake evenly.
- Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Do not overbake the cakes, as this will make them dry.
- Let the cakes cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- To make the frosting, simply beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth, then add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until light and fluffy: You can also add a few drops of food coloring to the frosting if desired.
- To assemble the cake, place one of the layers on a serving plate and spread it with a layer of frosting: Top with the second layer of cake and spread it with another layer of frosting. Decorate the cake with whipped cream, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or any other desired toppings.
Conclusion:
This easy banana split cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's moist, flavorful, and topped with a delicious frosting that will satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a show-stopping dessert that everyone will love.
