A large, moist, spiced banana pineapple nut cake. Very delcious. Please note the name is also called a "hummingbird cake," originated in the late 1970's and first appeared in Southern Living magazine. My friend gave me the recipe with the funny granny name. Read more The cake may be baked in a large 9 x 13 pan, layers, or a large tube or bundt. Fillings may be cream cheese or a pinapple glaze for the large cake. The fat in the recipe varies in other hummingbird cake recipes from 3/4 cup oil or margarine all the way up to 1 1/2 cups oil or margarine with the remainder of the other ingredients exactly the same. All the versions come out mosit and flavorful. Overnight wrapping helps mellow the cake flavors and also keeps it mosit! See less

I actully have this recipe at home ( by a different name ) and it is one of the moister banana cakes I have ever made. All I can suggest is don't overbake. It's 5 all the way!

Mother snuck a slice before it had a chance to ferment (sorry, mellow) overnight. Said it was good but I'll be the judge of that, tomorrow.
