Banana Split Cake
It’s that time of the week again when I bring you another amazing dessert!
This time I am sharing my Banana Split Cake. The weather is warming up and this is the perfect cake to take along to bbqs and potlucks and really wow your friends.
This cake evokes all the flavors of a perfect banana split, the vanilla ice cream, the hot fudge, the banana, the strawberries, the cherries are all represented in this confectionery tower. I love that it is just about as easy to make as a banana split (almost).
Now the base of this cake an angel food cake. Feel free to bake your own, however, I love the ease of this recipe because I use a store bought angel food cake which means I do not have to turn on my oven to make this amazing dessert and that is always a good thing as the summers starts to creep up.
To give the cake that strawberry topping taste, I slice the cake in 3 equal parts and poke each slice with a skewer and then gently pour unset strawberry jello over the cake slices.
Then I make some banana instant pudding and pop it in the fridge for about 10 minutes till it’s firm and slather that on the bottom layer, place a cake layer on that and again with the banana pudding slathering.
Top with the remaining cake slice and smother it in sinful hot fudge sauce, whipped cream and cherries.
This cake is easy to make yet is a real show stopper and the flavor is out of this world.
So grab a few ingredients and in no time you will be slicing yourself up a tall slice of Banana Split Cake! Banana Split Cake

Oh YUM!!
How tall was your Angel food cake? I cut mine in thirds and the layers were so thin they fell apart. Also what kind of hot fudge do you use and how do you get it to drizzle that way. Do you use cool whip in the tub or like redi whip in and can?
I bought a store bought angel food cake and my layers were probably about an inch or so when I cut them. I used Dreyer’s hot fudge in a pouch and warmed it a little, however I have used jarred hot fudge with just as good results. I just warm it a touch, then spread it on the top and give it a slight push to the edge to make it drizzle down a bit. I use the reddi whip in a can for the whipped cream but if you want to make it ahead of time I would use buttercream to fake whipped cream since the buttercream wont deflate like the whipped cream does. Hope this helps!!
