This old fashioned hummingbird cake recipe is a soft cake packed with moisture from mashed banana and crushed pineapple. With toasted nuts for texture and a luscious cream cheese frosting slathered on top and between the layers, there are lots of flavors in this cake, but they work together beautifully. This moist cake is sure to delight your guests on any special occasion!

I made a different recipe and it tastes like a subtle banana nut bread. What does the cake actually taste like traditionally? I was imagining a stronger pineapple flavor.

Made this cake today. I didn't use pecans since I didn't have any. Didn't have crushed pineapple either so I used fruit cocktail in light syrup instead. What a cake. Absolutely scrumptious. Light and moist inside. Thank you!

@sublimnalphish7232 2 ай бұрын

I love that cake. I took the idea and added coconut and layered shaved chocolate in the middle of the cake layers. I called it a tropical dream cake. It's so good. But how could it not be. I used yogurt in it as a milk product to add what yogurt adds 😁 which is a tender crumb. I'm a cookie and ice cream girl but this cake and a few others are to die for.

John, you should try freezing your bananas. Keep the peel on. Freeze for a few months, thaw and squeeze out the fruit and as much juice as you can. The juice is almost like liquor. I do that for all my banana breads.

The only thing different is mom used to put a few chopped maraschino cherries in the cake. She may have made it in a Bundt pan and poured a glaze over top. Either way I'm very excited To have this recipe. Thank you
