This is by far one of the best desserts ever! My mom has been making this since I was a little girl, and everyone wants the recipe. It goes by quickly! I have never had it with bananas, but I am sure that it is good. Normally, I place the crumbled cake in one layer in a 9 by 13 inch dish, add vanilla pudding and crushed pineapple, then take a knife, and poke holes in it to let the pineapple juice seep through. For Christmas, it is pretty to use red and green maraschino cherries. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful dessert.
