This hummingbird cake is so good. It never lasts long at my house. I read somewhere it is called hummingbird cake because it is so sweet the hummingbirds will eat it!
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter or margarine or 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons
2 cups confectionery sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Whip all frosting ingredients together with mixer until smooth and of spreading consistency.

I have made this cake before and it is to die for… very good.
We love this, but call it Dr. Bird Cake…
Hi!
OMG Thank you! I never heard of that cake, but I love it already! I will replace the pecans with walnuts (pecans are hard to find here). Undrained pineapple: So you add them with the juice they’re in?

Yes, Nicole, you don’t drain the pineapple.
I have heard of a hummingbird cake but have never had one. It sounds absolutely delicious. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Can you make this glutin free by using glutin free flours if so what mixture do I use thanks Diane
Yummy! That sounds delicious.

Served this cake at Thanksgiving dinner and my family loved it!
Mine is in the oven right now but have a question…. a lb of powdered sugar is about 4 cups. Should I add 2 cups or the lb which is nearly 4 cps.
I used 2 cups in my frosting.
I LOVE how good this sounds, but unfortunately have severe nut allergies in the house. Would I have to change the amount of the other ingredients if I were to make it without the nuts?
What other icing can you use? Do not like cream cheese or butter.
I have made it with peanut butter frosting too…
This is a very old recipe from many many years ago. It’s very good, light and tropical. I really like it! Thanks!
Thank you, Chuck, for saying this cake is “Light”. I put that on my Facebook page and was practically attacked by people saying it was a very dense, heavy cake. I would totally describe it as light.
try it with peanut butter frosting…yum…
I made it for myself for my birthday and I ate the whole thing. The batter made 1.5 cakes. It was so yummy!
So happy you enjoyed this for your birthday and hope it was a good one. So happy you enjoyed the cake, too. I love it myself.
Sounds and looks so good! I plan on making this for our annual family reunion this year.
could i use frozen mashed bananas in this?
I have not tried it that way but think it might work.
