Hummingbird Cake Recipe It’s Like Carrot Cake Only with Bananas and Pineapple!

This hummingbird cake recipe is brought to you by Trudeau.

I live in the South.

I haven’t always.

This Hummingbird Cake Recipe seems to be the must-have dessert.

Interestingly enough, when I questioned my Southern friends and acquaintances about this treat, nobody had tried it, but they all have heard about Hummingbird Cake.

I made it for Christmas.

It makes the house smell amazing while it bakes.

It tastes delicious.

It doesn’t travel well with a 10-year old who insists he reaches over and around it to acquire water bottles or other travel accessories.

I’m just saying.

Then I received a Trudeau Round Cake Pan and thought I’d make Hummingbird Cake again.

Trudeau’s Round Cake Pan is one of eight cake, cookie, and muffin pans integrated with Trudeau’s exclusive reinforced steel rims for secure handling and Supra Silicone, a patented, seamless manufacturing process providing a flexible non-stick, easy-release surface.

It took top honors in the Cookware and Bakeware category in the 2017 Houseware Designs Awards.

For my recipe, I used the Trudeau 9-inch round baking pan, which is heat resistant up to 428-degrees and is a freezer, microwave, and dishwasher safe product.

It has a suggested retail of $27.99 and is available nationwide.

Now on to the cake.

This Hummingbird Cake Recipe is easy to make.

It has three layers.

I wish I had three Trudeau pans for baking.

This would have simplified the baking process for me.

I ended up dividing the batter into three and then baking one layer at a time.

Did I mention it was the hottest day this winter the day I did this?

Seventy-Five degrees.

You will see evidence of this in the final picture because my icing was like Olaf on a hot summer day–melting away.

It should be noted that everything that could go wrong while baking happened for this recipe.

Someone turned the oven down on my third layer, which never finished baking.

I present to you the two-layer version of Hummingbird Cake (though I promise you I made three)!
