Banana Split Cake

Put a fun new spin on a classic ice cream treat with this decadent Banana Split Cake!

I’m so excited to share this Banana Split cake with you today! Is it a stunner or what?? Not only is it the prettiest cake I’ve made (in my opinion), it tastes amazing too.

I’ve only had a real banana split once in my life I think, or at least only one that I can remember. One of those fond childhood memories, no doubt at a Dairy Queen or something similar.

There are a lot of components to this Banana Split cake, but they are all really easy, I promise. If you’re going to tackle it, just split it up over a few days like I did. Takes some of the stress away!
