"taste of summer" banana split cake
(2 ratings)
Did I get your attention yet?!? Who doesn't love a banana split? Let me say upfront: this was not originally my recipe. I made some changes and so what follows is my take on a scrumptious delight that is oh so easy but makes an impressive presentation. Make it once and it will become your new "go to" summer dessert! Adding a drizzle of chocolate syrup just prior to serving adds to the presentation and the yumminess factor. You will have to add your chilling time to the prep time. Trust me, it will be worth it....
