Banana/Strawberry/Pineapple Split cake, Or you can call it Yummy!!

2x 20 cm round banana cakes (1 quantity of banana cake baked in two tins will do)
2 cups sweetened whipped cream (or if you come from the land down under you don't need sweetener coz our cream is sweet enough : ))
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1x 225g crushed pineapple well drained
a Jar of fudge topping
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Divide whipped cream into half. In one half fold in strawberries, and in other fold in drained pineapple.
To assemble, slice the two cakes into half horizontally. Place the base of one of the cakes onto a serving plate. Spread the strawberry cream to the edges of this cake, place the top of that cake on the strawberry cream. Spread the top of this with some warm fudge sauce, then layer on the fudge sauce the other bottom of the other cake. Spread this cake half with the pineapple cream then top with the cake top then drizzle over the desired amount of fudge sauce mmm Enjoy
