WHAT IS A HUMMINGBIRD CAKE
No, hummingbird cake is not made from hummingbirds. That felt weird evening typing that. The recipe was originally published in Southern Living magazine in 1978, but although there are several theories, no one really knows where the cake name comes from. Maybe because it tastes so delicious it makes you hum a little tune? Or maybe because it is sweet enough for hummingbirds? If you have a theory, I’d love to hear it!
But what we do know is what is in hummingbird cake. It’s an easy cake recipe made sweet with bananas and pineapple. The bananas, oil and eggs keep it extra soft while cinnamon and vanilla add a touch of flavor. Chopped nuts give it extra texture.
HOW TO MAKE HUMMINGBIRD CAKE
Start by sifting together the dry ingredients.
Then mix together the wet ingredients.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon. Don’t use an electric mixer here as you don’t want to overmix the batter.
Divide the batter between three 9″ cake pans. Be sure the cake pans are greased and floured so they come out easily. We find that greasing the pans with shortening helps the cakes to come out very cleanly.
The cakes will take about 25-30 minutes to bake. This cake is very moist, so I like to test its doneness by touching the center. If the center of the cake bounces back when you touch it, the cake should be done.
Ingredients
For the Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups overripe mashed bananas
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
3 large eggs (beaten)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces crushed pineapple (undrained)
For the Frosting
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
3/4 cup butter (softened)
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup pecans (for decorating, optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium-size bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, mix together the bananas, pecans, oil, eggs, vanilla and crushed pineapple (with juice).
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. Don't use an electric mixer for this because you don't want to overbeat it. Just mix with a spoon.
Grease the bottom and sides of the 3 round 9" cake pans with shortening. Then dust the cake pans with flour.
Divide the cake batter between the three pans evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center of the cake tests done.
Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then turn them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the cream cheese frosting.
Using an electric mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 3 minutes
With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar, 1/2 a cup at a time, until it is thoroughly mixed.
Add the vanilla and beat the frosting on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
Once the cakes are cooled, place one cake layer on a plate and frost the top. Then place another cake layer down and frost it. Finally, place the third cake layer on top.
Use the remaining frosting to frost the top and sides of the cake, making the frosting as smooth as possible.
Decorate the outside with whole pecans if desired.

The cake is of Jamaican origin. Your humming bird cake was the most visually appealing of all the videos I’ve seen on RUclips.
The cake was originated in Jamaica 🇯🇲.Our national bird is called the hummingbird,hence the name given to the cake.#tropicalgoodness
The cake is beautifully decorated. And I really have to make it.
Super ! Thanks
Love it thanks
Made it this weekend! Whoa... So good. Thank You! One question, oven at 350; I use convection so should the internal temp (I use an oven thermometer) be 350 or 25 degrees less according to the conversion formula? New baker here and would appreciate the help. Thanks again!
I think 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar is way too much sugar and it would make the cake too sweet. I will make it with less sugar. The cake turned out really nice. I'm curious how did you put the chopped pecans so nicely all around on the lower layer of the cake...I have no idea.
The reason they call it hummingbird cake is because it makes you hum
You skipped the part where you got the crushed nuts on the sides of the cake! Shucks! I Love your cakes. °\(ッ)/° ßÏG HÛGŠ
