Banana Split Cake

Original Recipe from:  The Bowers Family

I’m not sure which family member is responsible for this recipe.  I found it in my grandmother’s collection, but it’s definitely not her handwriting.  I do know that several of the women in my family have made this cake over the years, and it was always wonderful!  Served chilled, it’s perfect for a hot summer day!  Enjoy!
