My mother made a cake called "banana split cake" which sounds similar but I guess there were bananas on top. My hubby is allergic to pineapple but not coconut 😆

Just wanted to let you know I made your cake!!

It sounded so good and I have been looking for something to make for family get togethers. I recently tried a couple of cheese cake type recipes - one for Thanksgiving and a different one for Christmas. With both of them, I did not make it in advance - I made each cake for the first time for the holiday dinner. Neither went over very well. One was kind of dry and the other had 'too much going on' according to my family.

So I thought I would make your cake now to see if I thought it would be something the rest of the gang would like. Well, it is really delicious. My husband has eaten 3 pieces already today!

It is very easy to make. After the cake is baked it is just a matter of putting on the toppings. I topped it in 3 ways to see which we would like best - on 1/3 of it I put coconut - on 1/3 I put chopped pecans and the last 1/3 had no additional topping. I might make it like that for the family meals - that way everyone can have a choice.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
