Banana Split Dump Cake

A delightful dessert combining the nostalgic flavors of a banana split with the ease of a dump cake, featuring bananas, strawberries, and crushed pineapple under a crispy cake topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or white cake mix
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or 1 tub whipped topping)
  • 12 bananas, sliced (for garnish)
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, halved or sliced (for garnish)
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • Optional: Chocolate syrup or melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 9×13 inch baking dish, create an even layer of sliced bananas, followed by the drained crushed pineapple and sliced strawberries.
  3. Carefully sprinkle the dry cake mix over the layered fruit without stirring or mixing it in.
  4. Drizzle the melted butter evenly across the top of the dry cake mix.
  5. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  6. Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving.
  7. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, topped with sliced bananas, fresh strawberries, and chopped nuts. Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.

Notes

Make sure your fruit is evenly distributed for flavor balance. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
