I HAVE PAULA'S COOKBOOK WHICH INCLUDES THIS RECIPE. THE COOKBOOK RECIPE CALLS FOR TWO CUPS OF GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBS AND DOES NOT SAY TO BAKE THE CRUST. WHICH ONE IS CORRECT?

I can not use eggs, what else can be used instead? Thanks.

This recipe is printed correctly; however, Paula advises that anyone with a compromised immune system should avoid eating raw eggs (even though the risk of a food borne illness is small). People such as pregnant women, children and the elderly. One way to eliminate the risk of food borne illness is to use products such as Egg Beaters which have been pasteurized.

I want to make this cake but am concerned because it looks like the eggs will be raw. Is this correct on the website???
By Theresa Beasley on October 19, 2011
I am confused. You cannot eat raw eggs. Please explain. The banana split cake really looks good. ????????

Hey Paula! This has become the cake that I have to bring to holiday dinners and family gatherings...everyone loves it and always asks for it! I'm going to try adding strawberries to it the next time I make it.

I do pretty much the same as your recipe, but, I layer bananas, pineapple, sliced strawberries. Than put the Coolwhip on top, drizzle with Hershey's Syrup and sprinkle with chopped nuts. I call mine Banana Split Pie. It is over the top!!!! Try it. Don't ask me why, but I also beat the egg mixture for 15min. Might be because of the raw eggs?

Love this recipe. I add additional toppings (caramel sauce, hot fudge sauce, strawberry topping) for a richer dessert...

Is this recipe right..The eggs are raw and not cooked.. I was all for this recipe until i saw that..Someone sent me a recipe recently that left the eggs raw..That is a good way to get sick...
