Ingredients

Humming Bird Cake Recipe

3 cups flour

2 cups sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp soda

1 cup vegetable oil

3 ripe bananas ~ diced

1 ~ 8 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained

3 eggs (beat first)

1 cup pecans, chopped

1tsp vanilla

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For The Cream Cheese Glaze

8 ounces cream cheese

3 tablespoon soft butter

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon each, lemon and orange zest - finely minced

1 1/2 cups sifted confectioner's sugar

Chopped nuts for garnish (if desired).

Directions

Beat the eggs in a small bowl before adding.

In a medium bowl, mix first four ingredients together very well. Add oil, bananas, pineapple, pecans, vanilla and eggs.

Mix by hand for 2 or 3 minutes. The batter will not be smooth.

Pour batter into a well greased bundt pan, or sprayed with non stick cooking spray. (I use my pound cake pan).

Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Check doneness by inserting a tooth pick in the top of cake, if the tooth pick comes out clean, the cake is done.

Cool, remove from pan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To make the glaze/ frosting:

Glaze: soften cream cheese and cream with butter. Stir in lemon juice, vanilla and citrus zest.

Fold in confectioner's sugar to make a soft, drippy glaze.

Drizzle over cooled cake. Allow to set. Recover excess and glaze again.

Use additional nuts as desired on top. (optional)

I love, LOVE hummingbird cake! So does my family! I used to work at a bakery making wedding cakes, and I always brought home the cake trimmings for my girls. Anytime I brought home hummingbird cake, my girls would go for it even before the chocolate!
Surprisingly, I've never made it at home, so now...with your recipe...I will!
Thanks!
Debbie~
Ps...I'm sure my family will thank you too! :D

for church dinners!!
