Description

Anana Split Dump Cake is a simple and delightful dessert that layers the classic flavors of a banana split into a moist, baked cake. Combining ripe bananas, crushed pineapple, chocolate chips, nuts, and cherries with a yellow cake mix, this easy-to-make treat delivers seven layers of flavor and texture, finished with a dollop of whipped cream.

Ingredients

Fruit Layer

  • 2 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 can of crushed pineapple, drained

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box of yellow cake mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Toppings

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 cup maraschino cherries
  • 1 cup whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the dump cake.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
  3. Layer Fruit: Evenly spread the sliced bananas and drained crushed pineapple at the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
  4. Add Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry yellow cake mix evenly over the fruit layer to create the next layer.
  5. Drizzle Butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter evenly over the dry cake mix to moisten it and help it bake into a golden crust.
  6. Top with Mix-ins: Sprinkle chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and maraschino cherries over the buttered cake mix, adding texture and flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
  8. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool slightly before serving to let it set.
  9. Serve: Spoon portions onto plates and top with whipped cream for a classic banana split finish.
