This cake was a disappointment. It was too dry and the frosting was too runny.

This recipe is a winner! I made it for my family and friends last weekend and it was a hit. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the cake is moist and fluffy. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves banana splits or classic desserts.
