I love the pudding idea instead of the eggs. I also add strawberries cured in sugar first.

I used to work with a lady that made this, so glad to have found the recipe!!! It freaked me out when she told me it had raw eggs, I was fortunate, I never got sick. Now-a-days you can buy a carton of eggs that have been pasteurized for safety. I use them when I make cookies or stuff with my kids, that way they can "sample" the batter. Looking forward to making this cake! -thank you for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Just wanted to let you know I would probably buy some of your products if they were made in the USA insted of China. It's sad that it's the Americans that made you rich buying your products yet you wouldnt create jobs here for the same people. I will keep watching and when your things say. Made in the USA I will start buying them. Thanks Diane

I read the ingrediants in a rush, bought them, and then saw where there would be "raw eggs." Luckily I had two pouches of French Vanilla puddin on hand so I used that as my base layer over the graham cracker crust. Then I added a layer of bananas, the pineapple, and some cherries. I topped it off with two (8oz)tubs of cool whip, sprinkled crushed walnuts over that, and then drizzled chocolate on top. It still tasted like a banana split and everyone LOVED IT!!!

plus my mom never used the eggs she added 1 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar with the (2 pkg) cream cheese.
By angie stark on November 09, 2012
sounds good but my mom always added the cherries and drizzle of chocolate syrup on the top.... think about it.... banana splits always have cherries and chocolate..... plus strawberries which i guess you could add too, but ya gotta have the cherries and chocolate.

Confused about the "raw" eggs. Directions do not say "to cook" eggs at any time....help me understand...thanks

I loved this cake! I added strawberries with the pineapple, and I put chocolate sauce swirled on top of the whipped cream. Awesome!!!!

I used a double boiler for the eggs and butter and powder sugar....blending well for 15 min then i poured into crust....turned out great.....

My concern about the Banana Split Cake is that it has RAW EGGS in it. Isn't this dangerous?

Love you,your laugh and your show,been watching you for the beginning.You remind me so much of my Mother she looked so much like you and loved to cook, she cooked three big meals aday and always had dessert. She cooked breakfest eavery morning for all her married siblings and their spouse they all worked in a mill down the street from where we lived this was food for fourteen people six days a week for thiry plus years .We the children four of us had to do the dishes before school and there was no paper plates! She also worked there and they would give her a hour and fifteen minutes lunch break and she would run home and whip up a full lunch when we weren't in school, after nine hours aday at work she came home and cooked a big dinner with a dessert, that was more dishes for us. She taught us the love of food and family,you have shown my grandchildren how it looks for your family and that is priceless. Thank You for your show. I also cook big meals and love your cookbooks, couldn't find the one with this recipe and my granddaughter is having surgery tomorrow and wants this cake she is seven she said "Call Paula and she will tell you" so this was the next best thing. Have a Great and Happy time with your family and show and Thanks again Elaine McNeill Greenville,SC (61yrs old)

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?
By MAGGIE CAPEL on December 31, 2011
I can not use eggs, what else can be used instead? Thanks.
By debra on December 20, 2011
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.
By Jonathan Able on October 26, 2011
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
