How To Make banana split cake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350F. Spray 2 (9 inch) round cake pans with nonstick baking spray with flour. Line bottoms of pans with parchment paper; spray with nonstick baking spray with flour. Set aside. For cake: Prepare cake mix according to package directions for whole egg recipe. Add mashed banana, beating until combined. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.

    For frosting: In a large bowl, combine cream, powdered sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Beat at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside. For Filling: In a small bowl, combine pineapple, strawberries, and banana. On a cake plate, place 1 cake layer. Spread 1 cup frosting over layer. Spoon filling over frosting. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate cake while preparing topping.

    For topping: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate and corn syrup. In a small saucepan, add cream. Bring just to a simmer over medium heat. Pour cream over chocolate mixture; let stand 2 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Let stand until mixture has cooled, approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour topping onto center of cake. Gently spread, leaving a 1 inch border. Refrigerate until topping is slightly firm, approximately 15 minutes. Garnish with cherries, pineapple, peanuts, strawberries, and banana, if desired.
