The Hummingbird Cake
A Hummingbird cake is a true classic, ultra-moist Southern spice cake featuring mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and pecans, usually topped with cream cheese frosting however we have used the amazing Vanilla frosting from Macphie. It is a dense, oil-based cake packed with fruit, often including cinnamon, and uses vegetable oil rather than butter for superior moisture.
