One of the more popular cake recipes, Hummingbird Cake is named for its delicate spongy texture. It’s a simple recipe that requires basic ingredients – nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and eggs – hence why it became so well-liked over time.
This is a classic old fashioned hummingbird cake recipe. The cake has been around since the early 1800s and was originally made for children to give as gifts. It is now one of the most popular cakes in America.
I’d want to begin today’s post by mentioning how much I’ve been enjoying communicating with all of you recently. I’ve been attempting to respond to every post comment, Instagram tag, and email as quickly as possible. And I’ve noticed that the more I do it, the more connected I feel to you people.
Isn’t it self-evident? But it’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, and I’m thankful to have such wonderful readers/followers/fans/FRIENDS.
Because did you know that a lot of blogs have followers that write comments about how stupid the blogger is, and how stupid they are, and how poorly the recipe failed? My readers, however, are not among them. You folks are very kind and thoughtful, leaving me comments like “just made this using cannabis butter.” “Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, (For evidence, see the -link).
So, (*wipes tear*) thank you for being you, you funny, great, nice people.

Spring is on its way, therefore I prepared the most spring-like dessert I could think of: hummingbird cake. You may be wondering what hummingbird cake is. It’s essentially a super-moist cake with mashed banana, pureed pineapple, and a few special spices. This work of art is then frosted with a rich cream cheese icing and consumed in a matter of minutes.
In the baking world, the taste combination of banana and pineapple is quite understated. I’m not sure why, since it’s very great.
Especially when paired with a light cream cheese frosting with a dash of lemon. Oh, and put bee pollen and dried pineapples in the shape of flowers on top.

Alternatively, it may be like….spring. In a way. If you don’t live in the tundra that is the East Coast, that is. Sorry for the inconvenience, you guys.
Instructions for preparing a hummingbird cake
To make this hummingbird cake seem extra spectacular, I used three 6-inch cake pans once again. It will, however, bake just as well in two 8-inch baking pans. Both variations may use the same quantity of frosting.
If you’re interested in learning how to create dried pineapples, follow these steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove the small brown buds that appear like holes from a pineapple using a sharp paring knife.
- Slice the pineapple into very thin pieces.
- Place pineapple slices on a silicon baking sheet and bake for 2-3 hours, turning them over every 30 minutes to ensure equal drying.
You’ll have the most beautiful dried pineapple that can also be used as fruit leather! I couldn’t stop myself from snacking.
