Moist, dense, delicious banana -pineapple cake/quickbread recipe made into loaves aka know as hummingbird cake, a southern specialty. Often topped with a cream cheese frosting, this is so moist and flavorful it doesn't need it. Read more I omitted the nuts and used chocolate chips in the recipe which tasted great with the ( fresh ) pineapple and bananas. I have had this for many years and like this version over others.
