This homemade banana split cake recipe is DIVINE. I love banana splits and this cake reminds me of when I was young trying to eat the banana split before it melted.
What’s your favorite ice cream flavors? We always had a scoop of vanilla, one of chocolate and last (but not least) a scoop of strawberry ice cream.
I would drizzle it with chocolate syrup and top with whipped cream. I always would cut the banana into bite-sized pieces to make it easier to eat. Guess what I am craving right now?
This recipe uses a strawberry glaze that is delicious. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
So easy to make and great for the kid’s birthday party. Offering many more cake recipes below.
