How to Make Banana Sunset Dessert
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Roughly slice 3 ripe bananas and beat them well into the butter and sugar mixture.
- Add 3 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons rum (optional), 2 tablespoons honey, and 2 cups all-purpose flour.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the banana mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in ½ cup raisins, ½ cup chopped maraschino cherries, and ½ cup chopped nuts.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the dessert cool slightly before topping with 8 ounces of Cool Whip and sprinkling with ½ cup shredded coconut.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to chill.
