BANANA SPLIT CAKE
June 3, 1998
For Nancy Dawson. From a 1960s cookbook. I have made this recipe many times, and it's delicious.
Crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick butter or margarine, melted or softened
Filling
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 sticks butter, softened
1/2 cup liquid egg substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla
7 or 8 bananas, sliced in half lengthwise
2 cans (20 ounces each) crushed pineapple, drained
1 container (16 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Crushed nuts or nut topping
1 jar (8 ounces) red maraschino cherries
Mix together Crust ingredients and pat into 13x9-inch cake pan. Set aside. (Or, if desired, bake 8 minutes at 350. Cool.)
Mix confectioners' sugar, 2 sticks softened butter, the egg substitute and vanilla. Beat 15 minutes. Spread on top of crust.
Make single layers of bananas, pineapple, whipped topping, nuts and cherries. Refrigerate. Makes 12- 16 servings.
