What is Hummingbird Cake?
Hummingbird Cake is an incredible cake that is bursting with tropical fruits flavor like bananas, pineapple and coconut. It is and old- fashioned style cake and one of the most popular cakes in Southern America. It has moist layers of cake sandwiched and topped with cream cheese frosting. I have used toasted walnuts instead of pecans because here in this part of the world, walnuts are more readily (and cheaply) available.
What does hummingbird cake tastes like?
When it comes to taste and texture, it resembles carrot and banana cake but in taste you really can’t compare. You can find my carrot cake recipe here that is super quick to make.
Why it is called Hummingbird Cake?
Its origin is from Jamaican Island whose national bird is hummingbird. Food historians agree that in 1978 Mrs. L. H Wiggin send this recipe to be printed in Southern Living. You can find some interesting facts regarding its name and origin here.
Does it needs to be refrigerated and how long does it lasts?
The cake itself usually doesn’t need refrigeration but since it has ingredients like pineapple and bananas, I would recommend it storing in fridge specially in hot and humid weather.
If using cream cheese frosting, it must be refrigerated and due to oil (and not butter) it remains moist for at least 3 days in an airtight box.
Recipe at a glance
It is made with basic pantry ingredients like flour, oil, sugar, eggs, salt, vanilla and baking soda.
Pineapples, coconut, bananas, walnuts and spices like nutmeg and cinnamon are also used for that signature hummingbird flavor. Walnut and coconut are however optional and can be skipped.
For the frosting, Cream cheese buttercream frosting goes really well which uses butter, icing sugar, salt and vanilla in addition to cream cheese.
If you want to make sheet cake or bundt cake or cupcakes you can check out Sallys Baking Addiction blog for instructions. I personally have not tried it.

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I
never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my
view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did,
the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
