Categories     Cakes

Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (8-oz.) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained (such as Publix Crushed Pineapple in Pineapple Juice)
2 cups chopped bananas (about 4 medium bananas)
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Vegetable shortening
2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter, softened
2 (16-oz.) packages powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup pecan halves, toasted

Steps:

  • Prepare the Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl; add eggs and oil, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in vanilla, pineapple, bananas, and toasted pecans.
  • Divide batter evenly among 3 well-greased (with shortening) and floured 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating at low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Increase speed to medium-high, and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Assemble Cake: Place first cake layer on a serving platter; spread top with 1 cup of the frosting. Top with second layer, and spread with 1 cup frosting. Top with third layer, and spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Arrange pecan halves on top of cake in a circular pattern.

    1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
    2. Grease and line two 23cm round cake tins.
    3. Sift the flour and cinnamon into a mixing bowl, then add the sugar and a large pinch of sea salt.
    4. Peel the bananas and mash them up with a fork in another bowl. Drain and finely chop the pineapple and add to the bananas with the oil, eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until combined, then fold into the dry mixture until smooth.
    5. Finely chop the pecans and gently fold in, then divide the batter evenly between your prepared tins. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until risen, golden and the sponges spring back when touched lightly in the centre.
    6. Run a knife around the edge of the tins, then leave to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
    7. Meanwhile, to make the icing, sift the icing sugar into a free-standing electric mixer, add the butter and beat until pale and creamy.
    8. Add the cream cheese, finely grate in the zest of 1 lime and add a squeeze of juice, then beat until just smooth – it’s really important not to over-mix it. Keep in the fridge until needed.
    9. To make a brittle topping, place the caster sugar and a splash of water in a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Shake flat and don’t stir it, just swirl the pan occasionally until dissolved and lightly golden.
    10. Add the pecans and a pinch of salt, spoon around to coat, and when nicely golden, pour onto a sheet of oiled greaseproof paper to set (check out the how-to video below).
    11. Once cool, smash up to a dust (you’ll need about half to top the cake – save the rest for sprinkling over ice cream.
    12. To assemble the cake, place one sponge on a cake stand and spread with half the icing. Top with the other sponge, spread over the rest of the icing, then grate over the zest of the remaining lime.
    13. Scatter over the brittle dust and decorate with a few edible flowers, such as violas, borage or herb flowers, if you feel that way inclined.
    14. With a cup of tea on the side, this will make everyone who eats it extremely happy. Serve in a bluebell wood on a fallen tree, as you do.

EASY HUMMINGBIRD CAKE (FROM A BOXED CAKE MIX) RECIPE ...
I found this one a while ago in a random internet search. I messed around with the ingredients until I had a cake that made our family happy. It is loaded with pineapple, banana and cherries and the cherry juice gives it a nice pink tint so you could serve it to your sweetheart. I usually make it on the first day of spring (or when I have some bananas that need used up). I hope you enjoy!

HUMMINGBIRD CARROT CAKE | MARTHA STEWART
When you give carrot cake a hummingbird-inspired spin, it really takes a slice to new heights. To capture the essence of a classic Hummingbird Cake, we stirred shredded coconut and puréed pineapple into our batter and swapped butter for oil to get a rich crumb and featherweight texture. Then we coated the classic frosting with chopped pecans and topped it with a nest of candied carrots.
