Zubereitung von An Actual Banana Split Cake
- **Banana Cake Layers:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the mashed bananas.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, beating on medium speed for 3 minutes until just combined.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, use a long serrated knife to carefully slice each cake layer in half horizontally, creating four layers per cake.
- **Sweetened Whipped Cream:**
- In a chilled bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar with chilled beaters on medium speed until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat.
- Divide whipped cream in half. Gently fold 1 cup hulled and sliced strawberries into one half and 1 cup drained crushed pineapple into the other half.
- **Assembly:**
- Place the first cake layer on a serving platter. Spread half of the strawberry whipped cream evenly over the top.
- Top with the second cake layer. Spread 1/2 cup of melted fudge sauce over the top, allowing some to drizzle down the sides.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped peanuts.
- Repeat layers 3 & 4: Add the third cake layer, top with the pineapple whipped cream, then add the fourth cake layer.
- Spread the remaining fudge sauce over the top layer, letting it drizzle down the sides.
- Sprinkle with the remaining peanuts.
- Garnish with sliced bananas.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Enjoy!
