@@all4Dorian even though I’ve used a different recipe before I always go with a preppy kitchen one if it’s available. His cake recipes are always the best.
Made this cake today. I didn't use pecans since I didn't have any. Didn't have crushed pineapple either so I used fruit cocktail in light syrup instead. What a cake. Absolutely scrumptious. Light and moist inside. Thank you!
I made a different recipe and it tastes like a subtle banana nut bread. What does the cake actually taste like traditionally? I was imagining a stronger pineapple flavor.
Lol, I first saw this original recipe, well originally in my head, and a southern living magazine many moons ago. I am glad to hear more of the story about its origin. And regardless of who started it, dang, it’s fabulous!
As a jamaican, I can confirm that we do call them doctor birds. 🇯🇲 Thank you for this recipe and I can hardly wait to go shopping on the weekend for cream cheese and pecans. Need to try this! 😋
You always bring a smile to my face with the things you say and when you waved the wand after fetching the whisk. I also love the history parts and lots of tips n tricks
I would make this, but my partner requested a homemade lemon meringue pie for Easter dinner. I always made that for my father’s birthday and wish I could send one to Heaven for him…. I love your videos and have your new cookbook preordered on Amazon!!
Hummingbird cake has been my number one bake over the years.of pastry chef .Only one item l changed was adding a 20oz can of crushed pineapple with cream cheese frosting. Happy baking!!!
i love that he pronounces "pecans" correctly to my north Mississippi ears. THe cake looks divine and I think I just learned about my next kitchen project!!!
I love the acknowledgement of going to "the bad place" when making cakes. So often they're delicious but not looking as nice as we envision and that's okay. ❤❤
When I was little girl, my mum was super strict about cakes and desserts. When I left home at aged 19, I remember going to a bakery and buying a slice of hummingbird cake with a mile high of gorgeous whipped vanilla cream topping . 32 years later and I still remember it like it was yesterday. What a joy! Brink back the classics!!!
I love Hummingbird Cake! The recipe I’ve always used, very much like yours, said it was a southern classic. Now I know why everyone from the south that I ask about it doesn’t know what I’m talking about.😬
John, u know I gotta make this right😊Once I heard humming bird, I was like Jamaica of course. Biggest n baddess baker on RUclips. Whole lot of love coming from Jam down 🇯🇲💜
I have twins just a bit younger than yours and discovered your channel while looking for smash cake recipes a few years ago. Such serendipity! And, as our lives are also increasingly busy, I was thrilled when I saw your new cookbook! Preordered instantly! From one twin parent to another, thank you for all you do!
I love that cake. I took the idea and added coconut and layered shaved chocolate in the middle of the cake layers. I called it a tropical dream cake. It's so good. But how could it not be. I used yogurt in it as a milk product to add what yogurt adds 😁 which is a tender crumb. I'm a cookie and ice cream girl but this cake and a few others are to die for.
i am currently on a mission to try out every single recipes of yours since your recipes are the only ones that work out well for me, I am a self taught baker and so far none of your recipes have EVERRRRR failed me. LOVE YOUR WORK
Made this last night, delicious! I did add coconut and a splash of Malibu rum for a Pina colada taste and it was SO good! Thanks for another great recipe!
This is my husband's new fav! I replaced 1 teaspoon of vanilla with 1 teaspoon of maple flavoring and also added one-third cup shredded, sweetened coconut. Love it! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
😊Come to 🇯🇲 Jamaica my beautiful home😊 thanks for this John it's a sweet treat in my home, it's actually great with or without the frosting. Love n blessings from Jamaica❤❤
I made this today for my son’s 18th birthday cake. Thank you so much, it was a huge hit, and so so delicious. Everyone raved and I got so many compliments from my son’s friends. I’m feeling pretty cool 😎 I even got to share some factoids about it being a Jamaican Dr Bird cake. So fun.
This is perfect for an Easter dessert. Love this cake. I am also making a yam pie instead of using pumpkin. It uses so less sugar due to their sweetness. Same spices and other ingredients as you would for pumpkin pie.
I will be making your recipe for Hummingbird cake next week for my husband’s 78th ..I’ll send you a picture ❤ Thanks for your videos..I’ve enjoyed them for years..
This was my mom’s favorite cake. She passed in 2018….I found the recipe she’d had a year later. It’s the same as your recipe. I’ve made it several times. There was a few times I over mixed it and it didn’t come out quite right. Now I know what went wrong. This is now MY absolute favorite cake! ❤ Thank you for sharing this delicious cake recipe and tips.
There is no other chefs recipes I trust more than yours every single time I follow your recipe the food comes out AMAZING! Would you ever want to do a healthy recipe book because I’m sure the food will taste impeccable. If there is anyone that can make salad and eating greens taste good it will be you! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
@@itzsheena5941Pastry Passion in Sovereign center makes a delicious one and my great aunt made a wonderful one too. Many people eat it as banana cake and didn’t know the correct name because my mother would just call it a full house banana cake 😂 based on the taste.
Not surprising, not many Jamaican know about it's actual culture. I bet if I asked you something about America you would know though. I can also bet you don't know Jamaican pepper pot recipe either.
John, you should try freezing your bananas. Keep the peel on. Freeze for a few months, thaw and squeeze out the fruit and as much juice as you can. The juice is almost like liquor. I do that for all my banana breads.
I'm Jamaican and yes, we do call humming birds, Doctor birds as well. I make this cake and a carrots cake every year at Easter, I just make it in two layers and reduce the cream cheese frosting, it's amazing.
This is my very favorite cake and I've been making it for many years. I do everything in one bowl lol, because I hate extra dishes. I do mine differently, as many do, but the outcome is always fabulous and everyone's favorite desert. Thanks John, you're the best ❤
I have been searching for the Doctor Bird Cake my mom used to make for years. Watching your video, I thought this sounds just like it. Then you mentioned it's also called Doctor bird. The only thing different is mom used to put a few chopped maraschino cherries in the cake. She may have made it in a Bundt pan and poured a glaze over top. Either way I'm very excited To have this recipe. Thank you
Just pulled this out of the oven. I made 24 cupcakes and 2- 3/4th cup small cakes. They're adorable. Can't wait to frost everything tomorrow morning. Well, now there's 23 cupcakes. 😅
O M G! I just made this but did cupcakes (it made 24 plus three 4 inch cake layers) and they are absolutely divine! I have never had or made a hummingbird anything until today and this is out of the ball park delicious 😋
Hi John, I love all your scrumptious recipes. I have tried quite a few and they come out great every time. There are many different kinds of hummingbirds one of them is a doctor bird which can only be found in Jamaica and it is also the Jamaican national bird. One Love ❤🎉
I've made quite a few of your recipes and they come out perfectly, when I follow directions! Lol I have your first book and have ordered your second,for delivery in August. I can't wait to see what you've come up with in your second book!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I made this today, I think it is my new favorite cake. It is soooo good! Turned out perfect for our gathering today.
This looks appetizing. I fully understand the butter vs. oil. I am not a fan of oil in cakes, though. I am more likely to substitute applesauce or banana. Not a baker or cook by any means. I understood that eggs bring body and rise to baking. I am willing to admit I am wrong. My wife enjoys your channel. She has been mentioning this cake lately. Now I know where the seed was planted, so to say.
Wow! I'm not a baker, no patience, no mixer. Did I mention no patience? But one of these days one of your recipes might inspire me to make my "once every 10 years" cake. Or I could just ask my mom to make one of your cakes. Until then I'll just keep binge watching your videos. Thanks for making me hungry!
You're amazing! I found you this morning and I've literally been watching your videos all day. I made your brownies, topped with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream...OMG yum! I love this cake. Delish!!! Thanks so much ❤
My absolutely favorite cake!!!!!!!! I even have the hummingbird cupcake recipe which I have yet to make. Do you have an alternative fat that can be used in place of vegetable oil?
Chia seed gel is the best binder to use instead of eggs. Just take 1/2 tablespoon Chia seeds and mix with 3 to 4 tablespoons water and let sit for ten minutes to become jelly-like.
Do you have any suggestions on high altitude (5000’) for this cake? I wasn’t sure with the addition of fruit the altitude will affect it as dramatically as a non fruit would ( like a sunk center).
We had a very similar recipe we ate growing up that my grandma used to make . She called it “cake that doesn’t last” because there were never any leftovers. She always made it a day or three in advance because she said it tasted best after it sat a couple of days
Yes you've made my decision as well!! I love every component of this cake so I know I'm going to adore it! 😊 I was thinking about adding some orange zest to the cream cheese buttercream! I typically use equal parts of butter to cream cheese and I like that ratio. Of course it's going to depend on how much sugar you end up adding, when it comes to how soft it is. Obviously the temperature of your room matters as well. What do you think about adding orange zest. Too much??

I’m a Jamaican baker born and grown in Jamaica and I just want to say thank you for acknowledging my country!!!
I can't tell you how many times I've said "I'm going to make ______" and then John posts the recipe. I'm making this for Easter.
My thoughts exactly! my mom just mentioned this cake 😂
That makes us 3! OMG it's the collective consciousness!!❤❤
@@all4Dorian even though I’ve used a different recipe before I always go with a preppy kitchen one if it’s available. His cake recipes are always the best.
I literally had a couple request request this yesterday. I'd never even heard of it, but here's John with a brand new video!
So am I!!!😂❤️
Made this cake today. I didn't use pecans since I didn't have any. Didn't have crushed pineapple either so I used fruit cocktail in light syrup instead. What a cake. Absolutely scrumptious. Light and moist inside. Thank you!
I would have to leave out the pecans. I'm glad to hear it is still lovely without them.
As a Jamaican I am extremely happy and I will definitely be trying this cake!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I made a different recipe and it tastes like a subtle banana nut bread. What does the cake actually taste like traditionally? I was imagining a stronger pineapple flavor.
I LOVE PREPPY KITCHEN
I'm Jamaican and i never knew about this cake, thanks for sharing, i will try it one day.
And yes, hummingbirds are also called doctor bird in Jamaica 🇯🇲
Pastry passion makes a delicious one

As a Jamaican this is my favorite cake 🎂 ❤
You need the clay discs that go in your brown sugar. You'll never have another lump. It is just magical.
I use marshmallows too…..I make my own brown sugar (so easy) and it’s always, always super soft with no lumps 👍🏻
@@delilahboaI’m so confused 🫣
Can you elaborate? I need to know this!!
I just throw the end of a bread loaf since my family never uses it. Brown sugar never clumps.
I have a teddy bear
@@delilahboawow how do you make brown sugar ? 🌻🌻🌻
