Chocolate Banana Split Cake Recipe
Chocolate Banana Split Cake is a classic flavor in cake form! It has an Oreo crust on the bottom, chocolate buttercream filling, bananas, whipped cream, drizzle of chocolate, cherries and a sprinkle of pecans!
Ingredients
- 35 Oreos, crushed
- 1 ¾ cups (3 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ⅓ cup egg beaters
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-3 bananas, sliced
- lemon juice to dip bananas
- 8 oz. Whipped Cream
- ½ cup pecan pieces
- 15-20 maraschino cherries, cut in half
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×13″ baking pan with nonstick spray. Then, crush about 35 Oreos in a food processor or crush by hand.
- Melt 1 ½ sticks of butter, then add in the crushed Oreos and stir until combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Bake crust in preheated oven for 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven and cool pan, then place into refrigerator.
- Start making the filling once crust has cooled. Mix in large bowl or stand mixer, egg beaters and 2 sticks of butter.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and cocoa powder to get rid of any lumps.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat for 20 minutes on low speed. Mixture will be light and fluffy. (My son called it chocolate whipped cream)
- Cut the bananas into slices and either dip them into lemon juice or place into a bowl of lemon juice. This will help prevent browning of the bananas. Be careful to not add too much lemon juice or it will make the cake runny.
- Layer the bananas over the chocolate filling.
- On top of the bananas, add a generous layer of whipped cream.
- Place the cherry slices on top of the whipped cream.
- Sprinkle the cake with chopped pecan pieces.
- Slowly pour chocolate syrup over the top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight to allow the cake to set. Slice and enjoy!
