Banana Split Cake

This is an easy cake and you don't have to turn on the oven.  

Banana Split Cake

Ingredients: 
For Crust- 
16 graham crackers
1 1/2 sticks of butter
6 Tbs. sugar
For Cake-
2 eggs
2 sticks of softened butter
2 cups of powdered sugar
2-3 bananas, sliced
1 can crushed pineapple, drained
1 8 oz. tub of whipped topping
1/2 cup of chopped up nuts (walnuts or pecans are what I use)

For Crust:
Melt butter and add to crushed graham crackers and sugar.

This is how I crush my graham crackers.  I put the crackers in a gallon size zip lock bag and I use the end of my marble rolling pin to get the crackers down to size and then I roll the bag to get the crackers to crumbs.

Press mixture into bottom of 9 in.x13 in. pan.  Chill for 45 minutes.

For cake:
Beat eggs, then add butter and powdered sugar.  Beat on med-high for 15 minutes.
DO NOT COOK.  If you don't like to serve raw eggs in any dish,  then I am telling you now, they are raw in the finished dish.
Pour mixture over crust.  Put a layer of sliced bananas on top of this.
Next, put on a layer of crushed pineapple, drained.   Then put on a layer of whipped topping.  And top by sprinkling on chopped up nuts. 

For some reason I don't have a picture of a slice of this, something tells me the kids distracted me.  Put in the fridge to store.  This cake is really rich.  We usually only have it once a year for a birthday.
Recipe source: My grandmother.  It was probably originally out of a magazine.
