Description
A fun and nostalgic dessert that combines the flavors of a classic banana split in a warm, gooey dump cake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 jar (12 oz) maraschino cherries, drained
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup whipped cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray. Slice the bananas and drain the maraschino cherries well.
- Layer the sliced bananas evenly on the bottom of the prepared dish. Spread the crushed pineapple evenly over the bananas. Scatter the drained maraschino cherries across the pineapple.
- Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layer. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix. Sprinkle chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips over the buttered cake mix.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges. Let the dump cake cool for 5–10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of whipped cream.
Notes
For best texture, serve warm and consider adding extra toppings like chocolate sauce or chopped nuts.
