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?

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.

By Patti M. on October 03, 2011

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...

By Barbara on September 09, 2011

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...
