Zingerman's Hummingbird Cake Recipe
Ingredients
To make this delicious hummingbird cake, you'll need the following ingredients:
2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of salt,
3 large eggs, 1 ¼ cups of vegetable oil, 2 cups of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract,
1 can (8 oz.) of crushed pineapple (do not drain), 2 cups of mashed ripe bananas,
1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1 can (8 oz.) of cream cheese frosting.
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, and beat until just blended.
Stir in the pineapple, bananas, and nuts. Divide the batter among the three prepared cake pans.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans and cooling completely on wire racks.
Once the cakes have cooled, frost the top of each layer and stack them on top of each other.
Frost the sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
