Hummingbird Cake Recipe with Beautiful Pineapple Flowers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2022
- Hummingbird Cake - This cake is such a delightful and delectable cake. It has banana flavour and a little of pineapple flavours. Both the fruits made the cake so moist and soft. I also love the fact it has pecans, made the bite even more flavourful. The dried pineapple flowers, not too difficult to make, are so beautiful and brought a bright yellow to the cake. With that being said, dried pineapple flowers and the shredded coconuts are optional if some of you may not desire them. This cake is great for any occasion, especial in the summer, as you may want some kind of a Hawaiian tropical feelings. I hope you’ll be inspired to make some bagels. Enjoy!

FAQ:
1. Can I use pineapple in cans instead?
Yes for the cake. But as for the flowers, you’ll definitely need the fresh pineapple as we need the core of the pineapple.
2. Can I omit the shredded coconut?
Yes, you can. Its purpose is for the deco, you can absolutely omit it.
3. Can I use walnuts instead of pecans?
Yes, absolutely.
4. Can I substitute the eggs?
Yes, you can. I will show you in my next video.
Ingredients:
1 fresh pineapple, half for the cake, the other half for the flowers.
For the cake, you’ll need the pineapples without core, crushed them with juice.

160g [¾ cup + 1 tbsp] fine sugar
160g [⅔ cup] oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
• Cream Cheese Frosting
400g [1¾ cup] cream cheese, room temp
40g [⅓ cup] powdered sugar

Instructions:
Refer to the video how to cut the pineapple.
- 1 fresh pineapple, half for the cake, the other half for the flowers.
- For the cake, you’ll need the pineapples without core, crushed them with juice.
- For the flowers, you’ll need the pineapples with core, in thin slices.
• Hummingbird cake
1. In a food processor, crushed the fresh cut up pineapples (without core). Set it aside.
2. Mash about 3-4 ripe bananas. Set it aside.
3. Sift all the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder and salt. Set aside.
4. Chop the pecans. Set aside.
5. In a large mixing bowl, add 2 eggs and sugar. Mix vigorously until well combined.
6. Add in the oil. Continue to mix vigorously until well combined.
7. Add in the mashed bananas, crushed pineapple and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
8. Add in the sift ingredients in 2 batches. Mix until combined, do not over mix. Use a spatula to scrape the bowl to ensure even mixing.
9. Divide the batter into 2 prepared pans, greased and lined with parchment paper.
10. Bake at preheated oven at 175°C/350°F for 30-35 minutes.
11. Let the cake cool completely.
12. Slice each cake into halves to make it 4 layers. I prefer to cut off the domes to give 4 even layers.
• Dried Pineapple Flowers
1. For the other half of the pineapple (with core), slice as thinly as possible, about 3 mm.
2. Place them on a paper towel and pat them dry.
3. Transfer the pineapple slices to a flat baking tray.
4. Bake at preheated oven at 95°C/200°F for 40-45 minutes.
5. Flip the slices the other side and bake for another 40-45 minutes. This is a dehydration process.
6. After about 45 minutes, the slices are soft, not crispy. The texture is more flexible and you can probably bend them.
7. Place them in a muffin tray, gently pressed in the middle part of the slices, so that it could form a cup shape. Be gently as the slices are fragile. Bake them for another 40 minutes or so, to firm up the cups, or until you’ll see a little brown on the edge of the flowers.
8. Let the flowers cool completely. You can refrigerate or cool in room temp before use.
• Cream Cheese Frosting
1. In a large mixing bowl, add in cream cheese. Make sure the cream cheese is room temperature and softened to prevent lumps. Mix until creamy.
2. Sift in the powdered sugar. Mix until well combined.
3. Add in the whipping cream. Mix until combined.
4. Add in the pineapple juice. This is optional, you can also add in 1 tsp of vanilla extract instead. Mix until combined and stiff.
• Assemble the cake (refer to the video above)
