  Banana Split Cake
At our annual company Spring picnic, there's a dessert contest, and this was this year's winning entry. Sounds good...I didn't get a taste of it that day, but I'd like to try it out! Sounds like it' be great during the summer! * 2 c graham cracker crumbs * 1/2 - 1 stick melted butter * pinch of sugar * 1 stick butter * 2 eggs * 3+ cups powdered sugar * 1 can crushed pinapple * 4 sliced bananas * 1 large tub of Cool Whip
Blend graham cracker crumbs with a "pinch" (tablespoon) of sugar and the melted butter in the bottom of a 9x13 glass pan. Press it together until the crumbs have completely absorbed the butter and cover the pan. If the crumbs aren't completely moist, you may need a little more melted butter. Place in freezer while you make your filling (about 15-20 minutes). Mix butter, eggs and powdered sugar (mix in a little powdered sugar at a time) in mixing bowl with electric mixer until well blended and fluffy. Filling will taste rich, be yellowish, kind of a buttercream color, but it shouldn't taste buttery or eggy. Spread filling over crust. Next layer sliced bananas, then pinapple and top with thawed Cool Whip. Garnish with pecans, strawbeerries or cherries.

My Photo
Name:
Location: Tulsa, OK, United States

I am a wife, (soon-to-be) Mom, but a child of God first & foremost. I spend most of my time with my husband or in the blogosphere. I like to read blog stories of families who are growing through adoption, especially international adoption, especially from Ethiopia, or elsewhere in Africa. I love to go to the movies or just sit on the couch with my handsome husband & watch one at home. Dale & I especially love movies that make us think, that are redemptive, & will spark conversation; we love talking! I can watch movies over & over & still enjoy them like the first time. I LOVE to capture our family’s memories on camera & scrapbook it! We will do anything & go anywhere to see a good concert; We love to travel. We have been to 12 states together already. We went to Columbus to see Genesis & San Francisco to see the DM*B (& to get engaged). We spent our honeymoon in the mountains in Arizona. Dale loves Presidential history, while I love studying about the World Wars & stories of those affected by it. I love to organize everything; however, keeping it kept up is still a challenge! I don’t like scary movies & I am afraid of clowns, gutters, & spiders (ask, I’ll surely explain).
