No one will believe you made our easy Banana Bungalow cake yourself! This eye-catcher looks as good as it tastes! Boasting a delicious combo of chocolate, bananas and whipped topping, this one is pure fun to make and eat!

What You'll Need

1 (18.25-ounce) package chocolate cake mix, prepared according to the package directions
1 (16-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
3 large bananas, peeled

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 10- x 15-inch rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan with cooking spray and sprinkle lightly with flour.
Pour prepared cake batter into pan and bake 22 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Allow to cool then invert onto a large platter. Trim 1/8 inch off edges all around cake then cut crosswise into 3 equal sections, each measuring 5 inches x 10 inches, and leave in place.
Reserve 1 cup whipped topping for frosting. Spread some remaining whipped topping over middle section of cake, completely covering it. Lay 2 bananas parallel to each other over whipped topping. Spoon more whipped topping over bananas then place third banana on top. Cover with remaining whipped topping.
Gently bring up 2 side pieces of cake from outer edges to form bungalow roof. Frost cake with reserved whipped topping then grate cake trimmings over whipped topping to garnish.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour then slice and serve.

This sounds marvelous. Real whipped cream would be the way to go. Instead of grated cake, you could use jimmies or colored candies. Even make a little chimney out of red hots and whipped cream.

just a thought, take some of the whipped topping enough for the sides n top. Mix strawberry extract with the whipped topping to put on the sides, the middle, add banana extract with the whipped topping and add the bananas in the center.

Not been a chocolate lover, I would think I could use any type of cake mix. I think a spice or yellow or what every you like maybe berry =..=

I agree with you 100%. I cant wait to make this xcept, im going to make my own whipped cream, using heavy whipping cream and I think some Baileys Irish Cream mixed in to the whipped cream would be delish.
