Ingredients: 2 large eggs; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 cup warm water; 2 cups powdered sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder; 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda; 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips; 6 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1/4 cup butter (softened); ½ cup whipping cream; 1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar; 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder; 3-4 tablespoons milk; 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana; 6 tablespoons cup milk; 3-4 teaspoons milk; 5 tablespoons pineapple sundae topping (I used Smuckers); 5 tablespoons strawberry sundae topping (I used Smuckers); 1 tablespoon clear vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare and grease 2 - 8 inch cake pans, set aside. Mix all of the ingredients for the cake and beat together until smooth. Divide batter evenly between the two pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cakes to completely cool. Once cooled cut both cakes in half, making 4 equal cake layers. While cooling, make buttercream fillings, instructions below. Add one of the layers onto a cake plate. Top with chocolate buttercream. Add another layer of cake and top with the pineapple buttercream. Add one more layer and frost with the strawberry buttercream. Top with the last cake layer. Chill cake in the fridge for 30 minutes. Frost cake with vanilla buttercream. Set cake in the fridge to set for 30-60 minutes. While setting, make ganache, instructions below. Pour ganache over cake, allowing it to slowly drip down the sides. Set the cake in the fridge and let it chill for 30-60 minutes, until ganache is set. Slice serve and enjoy!
