Banana Dream Cake

  • 1 yellow cake, made according to package directions in 2 round cake pans. **
  • 1 container of Cool Whip, thawed enough to spread easily
  • 2-3 bananas, sliced into rounds
**Hint: grease and flour pans well, and use wax paper on the bottoms to help cake release easier.

After cakes have cooled and been removed from round cake pans, carefully slice them in half horizontally, making 4 layers.

Build the cake on the plate you want to serve it on. Start with a layer of cake, spread Cool Whip, then layer slices of banana, then more cake, Cool Whip, bananas... repeat. Once all the layers are assembled, spread Cool Whip on the top and sides, top with banana. Keep refrigerated until serving.

This was my Mom's favorite cake growing up, and on September 23, 1978 my Grandma made it for her . But before she could enjoy a piece, she went into labor with me. She had me early the next morning. It's really easy, and really good!
