One of the best things my grandmother made was a dessert called banana split cake. It wasn’t really a cake at all, but a layer of cookie crumbs topped with a creamy custard of some sort, whipped cream, pineapple and bananas. Over the years I’ve tried several versions of the recipe trying to get it like my grandmother’s, but most contained cream cheese and just didn’t taste quite right. But now I’ve found the version — or at least perfect in my opinion because it’s the closest to the one Bessie made. Plus it doesn’t call for bananas, which is a huge plus since Todd can’t stand them.
