If you’re a fan of a Banana Split then you may love this next recipe for a banana split cupcake! I split the cupcakes in half (partially chocolate and partially banana cake (all made from scratch below) to make it taste even more like the real thing. I use strawberry for the frosting and lots of whipped cream on the side and of course a cherry to top it! Enjoy!

Filling and Baking the cupcakes

1. I used a batter divider I found at most grocery or craft stores or HERE on Amazon. Then use a small food scoop or a spoon to place a small amount of chocolate cake batter in the side of each cupcake liner. Then scoop a small amount of banana cake batter next to it. Pull out the plastic divider. 
2. Bake the cupcakes in the oven for 15-20 minutes
3. Let cool before frosting

Strawberry Frosting

• 2 C. Butter (room temp)
• 6-8 C Powered sugar
• 1 TBSP Vanilla
• 2 drops of red food coloring
• 1 TBSP of Strawberry flavoring or 1 cup of fresh washed berries smashed 

Directions

1. Add Butter, vanilla, strawberries to the bowl begin to add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and beat until well blended. Increase the speed to med. speed until light and fluffy.
2. Place frosting in a pastry bag and pipe onto the top of the cupcakes.
3. Decorate by drizzling chocolate fudge on top and a dash of candy sprinkles
