Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup of crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 cup of sliced strawberries
- 1 cup of chocolate syrup
- 1 cup of whipped cream
- 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the yellow cake mix according to package instructions and bake in a rectangular pan. Allow it to cool completely.
- Slice the baked cake in half horizontally. Place one half in a serving dish to start building your cake layers.
- Spread the crushed pineapple evenly over the first layer of cake, ensuring every bite will be juicy and flavorful.
- Add a generous layer of sliced bananas on top of the pineapple, creating a fruity foundation that pairs perfectly with the cake.
- Drizzle a luscious layer of chocolate syrup over the bananas.
- Add a layer of whipped cream to create that light and fluffy texture.
- Take the second half of the cake and place it on top of the whipped cream layer. Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients.
- Finish off with chopped nuts and maraschino cherries on top, then chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
Notes
Make sure to drain the crushed pineapple thoroughly to avoid excess moisture. Feel free to customize with different fruits or nuts.
