THE ULTIMATE BANANA SPLIT CAKE
Once the weather heats up, the first thing I crave is a homemade banana split: ice cream, strawberry topping and whipped cream, surrounded by bananas covered in hot fudge. A classic for sure. Turning that classic summertime dessert into a cake was a brilliant suggestion from a good friend who shares the same passion for those amazing flavors as I do! Once the cake is fully assembled, it should be eaten right away. Leftovers are not an issue, as it is so good people always want more.

Steps:
- For the frozen banana bites: Peel and slice the banana into 1-inch pieces. Heat up the chocolate and shortening for 30 seconds in the microwave in a bowl. Remove and stir. If any lumps remain, heat in 10-second increments until fully melted.
- Place the banana pieces on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Using two forks, place a banana piece on one fork and dip it into the chocolate. Make sure the banana piece is covered completely. Remove the banana piece from the chocolate and, using the other fork, gently move the banana piece onto the cookie sheet. When completed, place the chocolate-covered banana pieces in the freezer for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- For the chocolate cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9-by-13-inch cake pan by rubbing with butter, sprinkling with flour and tapping out the extra.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix together with a wooden spoon, then set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Beat well with a hand mixer. Slowly add the boiling water and mix. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and fold and stir until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool on a rack.
- For the whipped cream: Beat the cream and vanilla in a chilled nonreactive bowl with a whisk or an electric mixer just until the mixture holds a loose peak. (Lift the beater from the cream and look at the shape of the peak at the end of the whisk; it should hold a lazy curve.) Sift the confectioners' sugar over the cream and continue to beat just until it holds a soft peak. Take care not to overbeat the cream or it will be curdy. Refrigerate, covered, for up to 4 hours.
- To assemble: When the cake is cool, cut in half with a long serrated knife. Place one half of the chocolate cake on a serving platter or cake stand. Cover the cake with strawberry pie filling (about 1 cup; you will have some left over, which can be refrigerated). Set the other half of the cake on top. Try to match up the ends that have been cut when stacking.
- With a pastry bag fitted with a large open star decorating tip, pipe whipped cream mounds on top of the cake. Add sprinkles. Cut the frozen banana bites in half and set on top of the whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- To achieve a moist and fluffy cake, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend seamlessly, resulting in an even batter.
- Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- For a neater and more even appearance, level the cake layers using a serrated knife before assembling the cake.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to create the whipped cream swirls.
- For a more pronounced banana flavor, use ripe bananas with brown spots. These bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor.
- When making the caramel sauce, be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked caramel can become hard and brittle.
- To prevent the caramel sauce from crystallizing, add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of corn syrup to the mixture.
- For a more decadent cake, you can add a layer of chocolate ganache or chocolate frosting between the cake layers.
- To make the cake more festive, you can decorate it with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.
Conclusion:
With its layers of moist banana cake, creamy vanilla frosting, and decadent caramel sauce, this banana split cake is a true delight. Perfect for any occasion, this cake is sure to be a hit with people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this banana split cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
