The Hummingbird Cake Deserves More Love

- This classic three-layer Hummingbird cake recipe is loaded with homemade cream cheese buttercream, bananas, and pecans for the ultimate dessert. It's easy to make and perfect for family and friends.
If you've never heard of a hummingbird cake, it's a carrot cake that swaps out the carrots for mashed bananas. It has an incredibly light flavor and is commonly served with homemade cream cheese buttercream. Hummingbird is classically served as a single or double-layer cake with the frosting in between and on top of the cake. However, I like big cakes, so it's three layers for me.
The cake was supposedly created by a young woman from North Carolina who submitted it to Southern Living Magazine in the late 1970s. It's said to be the most popular recipe in the magazine still to this day. The dispute is that the cake was created in Jamaica and was initially known as the doctor bird, which is another name for the hummingbird in Jamaica, and its national bird.

This is definitely a great Jamaican-American creation because the addition of the cream cheese frosting really took the humble hummingbird cake to perfection

My Grandma, Birdie Mae Young, made hummingbird cake for my Birthdays as I grew up. Your’s is the best recipe I have seen. Thank You!
mom makes us this cake with out the cream cheese frosting all the time and it tastes awesome and is easy to prepare she says.
I'm just as clumsy that was perfect. And so human . Most favorite part
This looks so yummy 😊.
I have been looking for a hummingbird recipe. Thank you! The recipe I had never came out. Can’t wait to try yours.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
I’ve been using this recipe to make banana nut bread for over 35 years. I adjust a few ingredients for the bread. It’s delicious, best banana nut bread you’ve ever tasted. I have no doubt the cake is fabulous too. Thanks for sharing Chef.
Looks perfect 👌😋🤤👍
I've tried to make these several times, but it was never anything to write home about. So, now I'll try your recipe, Chef. Thank you. It looks wonderful. 🌺🤤
You are amazing. Can't wait to try this cake. Happy Memorial Day to you and your family Chef.
LOL I'm so glad to see that you're human.... and that I'm not the only clumsy one in the kitchen. Thanks for keeping it real, Chef. 😁♥️😁
... My favorite cake of all time.
Looks awesome
😂It's a first time for me. You are so 4given.
I love your sense of humor 🎉❤
I've been making hummingbird cakes for years. This cake is absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I have to make a cake this weekend for an 82 year old friend and it's either a hummingbird cake or a black forest cake? I have bananas ripening right now so I think I know which cake it will be.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There's a cajun place near me and they have hummingbird cake and a ton of other desserts in these giant bakery displays and it always looks incredible. The thing is like 8 or 9 inches tall lmao
Never thought of using banana bread as a cake, looks very promising. 🤤
Chef, Love the recipe. But would love to get a tour of your (new) cooking studio? That turn table looks beautiful what brand is it if I may ask?
Can you make fresh soft gingerbread cookies with simple icing? Please.
I would love to, but unfortunately I do not like ginger bread anything. I’m sorry.
To ripen bananas just put bananas in a paper bag and add an apple, close loosely. The apple puts out a gas that ripens the bananas. In 24 hours you have ripe bananas.
This Hummingbird Cake recipe is delicious!! However I think I bragged about it too much because my friend has asked me to make Hummingbird Cupcakes for her Mom's Memorial gathering. Could you possibly tell me how many standard size cupcakes the recipe might make (she wants 75) and about how long I would bake them. Thanks in advance if you answer this. -Evelyn
Add some pineapple juice to the cream cheese icing...just a couple teaspoons.....it will add to a already beautiful 🎂
I made that cake for a party and it was devoured!
What would the recipe be If you wanted to make two 9" pans? Valerie. 😊
If i omit the pineapple does that volume need to be made up by something? If so, can i just use more banana?
Wont have ripe bananas in time so im going to use banana baby food, mixed with a little applesauce, see what happens
