How to Make Banana Split Cake
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of margarine in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers until evenly moistened.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened margarine with 2 cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 8 ounces cream cheese (softened) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
- Arrange sliced bananas over the cream cheese layer, followed by 1 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained.
- Spread 2 cups of Cool Whip evenly over the pineapple layer. Top with 1/2 cup chopped peanuts and maraschino cherries.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving for the best flavor and texture.
