Steps:
- Prepare the cake and make sure it's completely cooled before assembling the dessert. Cut the cake into bite-sized pieces. Prepare the pudding mix. In a trifle dish (or large salad bowl) preferably a clear bowl cause it looks so pretty. Break up the bite-size pieces, using half the cake for the first layer. Top the cake pieces with half of the pudding, half of the bananas, half of the strawberries, half of the pineapple, half of the Cool Whip, half the Maraschino cherries, half of the chocolate syrup and half of the nuts. Repeat all these steps with the remaining ingredients in the same order. Chill until ready to serve. *Hint: Don't allow the pudding to set completely before assembling because you want it to work it's way in between the cake pieces before it firmly sets.

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: Use ripe bananas with yellow skin and no green tinge. Overripe bananas will brown quickly and have a mushy texture.
- Chill the trifle before serving: Chilling the trifle for at least 2 hours or overnight allows the flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
- Use a variety of toppings: Don't be afraid to get creative with your toppings. Try using different fruits, nuts, and sauces to create a unique and delicious trifle.
- Make it ahead of time: Banana split trifle can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This makes it a great dessert for parties or potlucks.
