Hummingbird Cake
Do you know why this cake is called a Hummingbird Cake? No, it's not made from, nor for hummingbirds. Nor does it resemble a hummingbird.
A little birdie (maybe it was a hummingbird) told me that every bite makes you "hum" with delight. And that is exactly the sound my family made as they were gobbling it up!
It's filled with pineapple, bananas, cinnamon and pecans, covered with cream cheese frosting.
hummm mmmmm!!
