Ingredients

Hummingbird Cake

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups ripe bananas chopped or mashed
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (you can substitute walnuts)
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple with juice

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 X 13" baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix the dry cake ingredients well in a large bowl. Add in the oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Stir in the bananas, nuts and pineapple. Mix well.
  • Pour batter into the baking dish and bake for about 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  • Allow cake to cool completely.

Frosting

  • Beat cream cheese and butter together with electric mixer. Beat in sugar and vanilla.
  • You can spread the frosting uniformly over the slab cake with an offset spatula. If you choose to pipe the dressing it will not cover the entire cake so make a lattice pattern so you can cut between the frosting rows and each piece will have some frosting florettes.
