BANANA SPLIT CAKE

While I will still be posting cold drinks for these hot summer days, I will still post some really great recipes for other things as well. I thought about this recipe that I ALWAYS made during Little League All-Star season. As moms, we would all bring a dish for a meal after practice and this was a favorite by many of the little leaguers, moms and dads. I hope ya'll enjoy it! I'm going to make it for our famiy for 4th of July.

BANANA SPLIT CAKE

from the files of Saundra Carriker

2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs

1 stick melted butter

Blend and press in 9 x 13 pan

2 sticks butter, melted and cooled

2 eggs

1 box powdered sugar

Beat with electric mixer for 15 minutes, pour over crumb crust

1 #2 can well drained pineapple (crushed)

4 to 5 bananas sliced

Some strawberries, either fresh or frozen

Layer these ingredients over the sugar mixture, bananas first, covered well by the pineapple and then some strawberries

**I also use some chopped pecans to throw in there as well and when I want to be really creative, I'll drizzle a little chocolate syrup on top of all of these.

Top with:

1 large container frozen whipped topping

1/2 cup chopped nuts

1 jar maraschino cherries

Chill and serve. Delicious!!

Happy Cooking!
