Gourmet Banana Split Brownie Cake Recipe

Try Gourmet Banana splits Brownie cake a really fun and refreshing dessert to enjoy the summer and get some much needed fruit into your kids (and adults to that fact).Toppings can then be applied to the dessert as desired. The classic banana split was created in 1904 by David Strickler, who used a specific set of toppings and ice cream. He used three types of ice cream; vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. With brownie on the bottom and banana split flavors to top, this makes a to-die-for dessert! For those of us who prefer something a little lighter, my favorite version is to use vanilla ice cream in the middle, with fresh strawberries liberally spooned over the top.
