Hummingbird Cake: An Easy Bundt Cake Recipe

Hummingbird Cake is a moist and dense cake filled with ripe bananas, pineapple,
pecans, and deliciously savory spices. Tweaked slightly from the original, this
cake is simplified and made even easier in a Bundt pan. And, of course, drizzled
in a thick cream cheese glaze for the ultimate in flavor.

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 14-cup Bundt pan generously with floured
cooking spray; or grease and flour the pan.
2 In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt,
and allspice; set aside.
3 In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the mashed bananas, pineapple
with juice, coconut, eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla. Beat on medium-high until
incorporated.
4 Add the flour mixture; mix until just combined and fold in the pecans. Transfer
the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. The batter should fill the pan 2/3 to
3/4 full.
5 Bake the cake for about 1 hour. In my oven, I begin checking the cake at about
50 minutes, it is often done in just under 1 hour. Test with a long skewer (or
toothpicK) until it comes out mostly clean. Or you can use the "Bounce Back"
test. If after gently pressing the cake, an indentation remains, it needs more
time. If it "bounces back," very likely it is done. Baking time varies so watch
it carefully.
6 Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack
to cool completely.
7 Cream Cheese Frosting
8 Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of milk
together until combined. Add additional milk or cream as necessary to achieve
desired consistency. I like it thick but still slightly pourable. Garnish the
top of the cake with toasted pecans.
