Ingredients
Scale
For the Dump Cake Base:
- 4 medium ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (plus more for topping)
- 1 box yellow or white cake mix
- 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
For Toppings:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or 1 tub whipped topping)
- 1–2 bananas, sliced (for garnish)
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, halved or sliced
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- Optional: Chocolate syrup or melted chocolate for drizzling
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Fruit Base Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter. Arrange the sliced bananas evenly across the bottom of the dish. Spread the drained crushed pineapple over the bananas, followed by the sliced strawberries.
- Step 2: Add the Cake Mix and Butter Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the fruit layer. Do not stir; let it sit as a dry layer on top of the fruit. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix, ensuring it covers as much of the dry mix as possible.
- Step 3: Bake the Cake Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly. Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes to allow the layers to set.
- Step 4: Add the Toppings While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream into soft peaks, or use pre-made whipped topping. Spread or dollop the whipped cream over the cooled cake. Garnish with additional sliced bananas, fresh strawberries, and chopped nuts. If desired, drizzle chocolate syrup or melted chocolate on top for that authentic banana split vibe.
