Enjoy! :) http://www.grouprecipes.com/58877/the-hummer-drink.html Hummingbird Cake is such a lovely name that it makes you wonder its origin. Unfortunately, my research did not lead to an answer so we are still left wondering. It does seem plausible that it may have something to do with how sugary rich this cake is - just like the nectar that Hummingbirds love to feed on. Anyway, what we do know is that the recipe gained widespread popularity after it appeared in the February 1978 issue of Southern Living Magazine. We also know that the recipe was submitted by a Mrs. L. H. Wiggins of Greensboro North Carolina and consists of two layers of cake full of chopped pecans, crushed pineapple, and mashed bananas that are filled and frosted with a delicious cream cheese icing. http://www.grouprecipes.com/43269/southern-living-hummingbird-cake.html
