Banana Split Dump Cake
A warm, scoopable banana split inspired dump cake with fruit, buttery cake topping, and whipped cream.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe bananas sliced
- 1 can 20 oz crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup fresh strawberries sliced
- 1 box yellow or white cake mix about 15.25 oz
- 1 stick 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold (or 1 tub whipped topping)
- 2 medium bananas sliced, for garnish
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries halved or sliced, for garnish
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup or melted chocolate optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
- Arrange the 4 sliced bananas evenly in a single layer over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the drained crushed pineapple evenly over the bananas.
- Scatter the 1 cup of sliced strawberries evenly over the pineapple.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the fruit layer, covering the fruit completely. Do not stir.
- Slowly drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the dry cake mix, trying to moisten as much of the surface as possible.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool for about 15 minutes to allow the fruit layer to thicken slightly.
- While the cake cools, pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl and whip with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium high speed until soft peaks form.
- Once the cake is warm but not hot, spread or dollop the whipped cream evenly over the top of the cake.
- Garnish the whipped cream layer with the remaining 2 sliced bananas, the 1/2 cup of strawberries, and the chopped nuts.
- Drizzle chocolate syrup or melted chocolate over the top, if using, then serve warm in scoops.
Notes
- You can substitute the whipped cream with 1 tub of thawed whipped topping if you prefer.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and serve chilled or gently warmed.
