Hummingbird Cake
I love this impressive 3-layer Hummingbird Cake. It is much easier to make than it looks and your guests are bound to be impressed when you slice into it. This cake has its origins in Jamaica and has a tropical twist thanks to the inclusion of bananas and pineapple. This makes it a perfect summer bake.
Start by mixing together the cake batter and add bananas, pineapple, and pecans. Divide the cake mixture between 3 pans and bake in the oven. As the cake bakes, make frosting by mixing together cream cheese, butter and confectioners sugar. Once the cake is completely cool, frost the outside and top with pecans before serving. Enjoy!
