Print Recipe

This Hummingbird Cake is a tropical twist on a classic dessert that brings together ripe bananas, crushed pineapple, and pecans in a moist and flavorful cake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla, bananas, pineapple, and pecans.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure the bananas are overripe for the best flavor.
  • This cake can be iced with cream cheese frosting for an extra indulgent treat.
