    Ingredients
    3/4 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature (170g)
    3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
    1 cup light or dark brown sugar 200g
    1/2 cup sugar 100g
    2 large eggs lightly beaten,
    2 cups mashed over-ripe bananas this is was about 4 bananas for me (479g)
    1 8 oz can crushed pineapple do not drain
    1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
    3 cups all-purpose plain flour (375g)
    1 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 cup chopped pecans¹
    CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
    1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter softened (113g)
    8 oz cream cheese softened brick-style, not spreadable (226g)
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    4 cups powdered sugar 500g
    Instructions
    00:00 Introduction
    00:16 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease and flour the sides and bottoms of two 8" or 9" pans. I also recommend using a round cut-out of parchment paper to line the bottom to prevent sticking when you invert your cake.
    00:49 Combine butter, oil, and sugars in a large bowl and use an electric mixer (or use a stand mixer) to beat together until creamy and well-combined.
    01:18 Add eggs and stir again. Add bananas, crushed (undrained) pineapple, and vanilla extract and stir well.
    01:48 In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined.
    02:10 Using a spatula or spoon (don't use an electric mixer for this step) gradually begin to fold dry ingredients into wet. Once about half the flour mixture has been added, add the pecans and stir them in as well. Stir until just completely combined. Don't over-mix the batter or you could end up with a dry cake.
    02:52 Evenly divide cake batter into prepared baking pans Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 39 minutes if using 8" pans and 34 minutes if using 9" pans or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or preferably with a few moist crumbs.
    03:38 Allow to cool for 10 minutes in baking pan then run a knife around the inside of the pan to loosen cake and carefully invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
    Once cooled completely, use a knife to level off if needed and then prepare frosting.
    CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
    04:04 Combine butter and cream cheese in a large bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer) and beat until creamy, smooth, and well-combined. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
    04:22 Gradually, with mixer on low speed, stir in powdered sugar until completely combined. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so ingredients are evenly combined.
    TO ASSEMBLE
    04:50 Place one layer of the cake on serving dish. Top with cream cheese frosting and spread evenly. Top with second cake. Frost top and sides of cake and serve.
    Notes
    ¹Pecans can be left out if needed for allergy reasons (or just if you hate nuts). For best flavor, I recommend buying whole (not pre-chopped) nuts and toasting them in a 350F/175C oven for 5 minutes or until fragrant and deeper brown. Let them cool then chop up before stirring into your batter. TO STORE CAKE Hummingbird cake should be stored in an airtight container. It will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days and in the refrigerator for up to one week.

    Hummingbird cake is my all-time favorite cake. I asked my mom to make it for me on most birthdays but I'm going to try to make it this year for Christmas. Hers is usually a three layer cake but I love the idea of just two.

    • @SugarSpunRun
      @SugarSpunRun  2 роки тому

      I hope you love it! You could make it in 3 layers if you increase the recipe by 50% or just make thinner layers. Increasing it 50% will give you a pretty big cake. Enjoy!

    I have bananas and fresh pineapple at home. I jusy hope I can put the pineapple in the food processor and bake it in a 9 x 13 inch Pyrex baking dish.
    My mother taught me to substitute when baking, i.e., if you only have three bananas when you need four, just add more pineapple.

    • @SugarSpunRun
      @SugarSpunRun  Рік тому

      You shouldn't have any issues baking it in a 9 x 13, but I'm not sure about the pineapple substitute as I haven't tried it myself. Let me know how it goes! :)

      It depends on the size of your Bundt pan. This recipe makes about 8 cups of batter. Your baking time would definitely be different as well. 😊

    ICING TO THIN

    • @SugarSpunRun
      @SugarSpunRun  3 роки тому

      You can always add more powdered sugar to thicken it up. Did you use spreadable cream cheese? That will make the icing pretty thin.
