Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I like to begin by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, I grab a 9×13 inch baking dish and lightly grease it—this is essential to ensure that our scrumptious cake doesn’t stick. Next, in the dish, I layer the sliced bananas evenly across the bottom. On top of those, I pour the can of crushed pineapple, making sure to use every last drop of that sweet juice! Then, I sprinkle the cherries for that classic banana split flair. This combination already smells divine! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
