Instead of yellow cake I used pound cake sliced layered on bottom and also used one french vanilla pudding and cheesecake pudding.

This is the best cake I've made all Summer. I divide the batter between 2-9 X 13 pans and use fat free cream cheese, fat free sugar free pudding and lite topping. I place each portion on a dish and swirl chocolate syrup over the top and plate. What a beautiful Sundae!!!

Everyone loves this cake. I omit the cream cheese and make the pudding as directed. I poke holes in the cake with the end of a wooden spoon so the pudding flows through the cake. I also add strawberries over bananas and pineapple and drizzle chocolate sauce and or butterscotch topping on top cake!!! YUMMY

YUM! This was awesome and my family loved it. I dribbled chocolate sauce over the top and it made it so pretty too!

LOVE THIS CAKE, I MADE IT FOR CHRISTMAS AND NEWYEARS, GREAT HIT!!!!!!!!!!!

YUMMY!! This is such a fabulous dessert! It was our 4th of July dessert and our guests ended up taking the recipe (and a plate full) home with them. I used 2/3 of the cake batter and one box of banana cream pudding and one box of vanilla w/ chocolate chips pudding in place of 2 vanilla's. I added slices of strawberries on top of the bananas. It was delicious the next day too, if not even better! Remember to refrigerate any leftovers!

made this for my daughters birthday. Everyone said too much cake. Mom and mother in law said they have this recipe and it calls for 1 jiffy yellow cake mix...which is much smaller. Will try that the next time as I agreed with all too much cake. Will use banana pudding instead as well and cut whipped topping in 1/2 since this seemed like overkill on the cake. Used the juice from the crushed pineapple to mix with pudding which helped with flavor and topped with sliced strawberries and drizzled with chocolate sundae syrup and chopped pecans. Still good flavor all in all...but how can you go wrong with bananas, pineapple, strawberries and whipped cream!?

FANTASTIC!!! Loved this recipe, have made it a few times, easy and delicious.

I took this to a housewarming party and it was a crowd pleaser. I did make some changes, for personal taste, suggested by other reviewers. I used one package of cheesecake instant pudding and one package of french vanilla instant pudding. I also used strawberries instead of cherries. I drizzled chocolate syrup on top right before serving. I will definately make this recipe again.

This was a big success! I made the cake in a 10x15x1 pan and skipped the nuts due to personal taste. Next time I think I may try using cheesecake pudding mix. Easy and a crowd-pleaser!

Excellent!! My changes - instead of 2 vanilla puddings, I used one chocolate (you have to add chocolate somewhere in this recipe!) and one cheesecake, which was scrumptious in itself! Then, used strawberry cool whip for topping, followed by the nuts and strawberries, instead of cherries. Tasted amazing, and held together so much better than I thought it would! BIG hit with everyone at party!

this recipe was FANTASTIC! i had to bring the dessert for a friend's cookout. everyone loved it! i did sunstitute one vanilla pudding with a banana cream pudding per others's suggestions. turned out great!this is a keeper. After everyone got their share of the leftovers, i got mine too!!

I made this and served it on the 4th of July but it was MUCH better the next day, after my guests had all gone! So you might want to make this a day ahead. The first day it wasn't so sweet and the flavors had not mixed as well. I made mine with one vanilla pudding and one banana creme pudding. Used fat free whipped topping and also added chocolate shavings as an extra garnish. Looks great and tastes great!

Very good recipe. Some changes I made.. Made the cake batter in a 9x13 pan. After it cooled I took it out of the pan and sliced it horizontally. Put bottom piece back in the pan. Added ingredients plus I added thin sliced strawberries- put saran wrap over ingredients to push down, put second layer of cake on top. Than I topped it with whip cream made from fresh heavy cream (instead of cool whip.) I did not top it with nuts and cherries- I thought that would be way too much. I did save a piece of the inside of the cake that I crumbled up and scattered on top of the whip cream. My family loved it- adults and kids alike. I will definately make this again!

This is a really good recipe. I only added a couple/changed things. I added Strawberry, Pineapple Ice Cream Topping over the Banana layer. I also added Cream Marshmellow in the jar, NOT the Kraft. This is over in the Ice Cream Topping section in the stores. It is made thinner than the other. I also froze my Banana Split Cake. It does not freeze solid and it is SOOO good this way. I received SO many compliments on this.

This was a huge hit! I made the following changes: used 1 pkg. vanilla and 1 pkg. cheesecake pudding per other suggestions, I used strawberry cool whip for topping, then topped with sliced strawberries and drizzled with chocolate sundae syrup. YUM!

I took this wonderful cake to a Good Friday crawfish boil. I made the following changes (thank you to all previous reviewers!) I made six cupcakes to use some of the batter - and my 13 X 9 pan was still full (after all the layers) I used one pckg of french vanilla and one cheesecake pudding instead of the two vanilla puddings. On top of the cool whip layer I used sweet Louisiana strawberries instead of cherries. On top of this I drizzled caramel topping and chocolate topping (the kind you put on ice cream). I made it the day before I served it. This cake was a huge hit at the party. I highly recommend this cake! (several people requested the recipe!)
