Banana Split Cake

Okay guys, I'm back with the bananas

How'd it go? How'd y'all do? It was good. I thought it was real good. Yeah, we had fun

That's a simple recipe. Paula's home cooking is still... No longer. We're switching it up

We'll come back to the Bobby Dean show. What? Whatever. No, it was okay

The next dish that we're going to do is just a banana split cake

But I have to tell y'all, this is one of those recipes that I've always had a lot of calls on

because of the controversy of the raw egg in the dish, and this dish doesn't get cooked

And, you know, I'm just not afraid of raw eggs as long as they're nice and tight in their shell, no cracks

and they hadn't expired. But for those of you out there that might have an issue with that

you can use a pasteurized egg in place of it, and then that way you have no worries at all

Jamie, why don't you start by making the crust, son. Two of my favorite things, graham cracker crumbs and butter

Mine, too. It's about four cups of graham cracker crumbs. And then just stick a butter

and we're gonna do a little something different. The recipe doesn't call to stick this crust in the oven

but I like what heat does to this It makes it kind of harden and form more like a hard crust So we just going to press this into our dish and we going to stick it in the oven for like five to eight minutes

and pull it out and let it cool. So while you're doing that, I'm going to slice the bananas

And Bobby, you want to go ahead and make the filling, son? Sure. I'm going to start with two sticks of butter

and I'm going to go ahead and begin to cream that. I'm going to add two eggs, beat two eggs into this as well, and I'm going to add in a box

one one-pound box of powdered sugar. All right, Jamie, son, if you want to go ahead and get that in the dish and get it in the

oven, we're going to put that in a 350-degree oven. Like I said, for about five to eight minutes, just for it to harden up

And Bobby, how are you coming over there, son? Perfectly. All right, Jamie, I've got another one

in the oven. If you would go ahead and get it out, please. Because we want to make sure it's cool

We don't want to put this together while it's hot. You know, Bob, it's funny

You never had any cooking experience like Jamie had. You really had..

You were in sales. Yeah, well, I got my experience. Trial by fire

I really wanted you to join us. And you did. You quit your salesman job And you came over and you became the dishwasher I been working out for you It taken me so far

Pretty good movie. And then you were promoted. Yeah. To... All the desserts

The pastry chef. And I got really good at it. Never got bored with it

But I really got, no, not at all. And I've always, you know, growing up with you

or growing up in your house, rather. What, growing up along with me? Yeah, you and I growing up together

No, I always enjoyed cooking, but I didn't really get the joy of

once I started cooking for people and getting their reaction from it, that's when I really started to enjoy it

To me, there's nothing like our job. Granted, it's hard, hard work

You really put yourself on the line out there. You really open yourself up for shots

But if you're good at what you do, There's nothing like that immediate gratification

that we get from walking out on the floor and people saying, oh, my goodness, you know

I just love your food. Seeing the looks on their faces. That looks so good and buttery, Jamie

You know, it's not the easiest thing in the world to spread. All right, so what we're going to do now, son

we're just going to spread those bananas all over. And then we going to top our bananas with the canned crushed pineapple that been very very well drained All right I going to top this now You can use a frozen whipped topping

But y'all know when I'm making these kind of desserts that I only use one thing

and that's sweet and fresh cream. All right, so that was just that simple

And now we're just gonna top it with a few graham cracker crumbs that I nabbed from Jamie's crust

Doesn't that look yummy? Mm-hmm. And you got dishes. Yes. Oh

This looks so good. So good. You gonna fix the dish, Mom

Well, I think I'm just gonna try. Is it good? It's really good

I think I'm gonna try just a bite. I love the pineapple in it. I do too

That pineapple really makes it. To you, my darling, and to the part you've played, and to all the desserts that we serve

at the Lady and Sons. I think I'm the reason for your success. Here's to you, Bobby

Here's to me. That's really good
