Hummingbird Cake

11 April 2009 6 Comments

What better way to welcome Spring than with a lovely Hummingbird Cake! This was my first time trying a hummingbird cake and I must say….DECADENT. LUSCIOUS. WONDERFUL. It was delicious! This cake was polished off in no time at all! It was densely packed with the goodness of bananas, pineapple, pecans and spices and the addition of cream cheese frosting just made it to die for! I was curious as to how this cake obtained it’s name, but it seems there are about a zillion explanations for this question. Some say Southerners would hum as they ate this yummy cake, others say that the hummingbird represents sweetness and this cake is just that. I’ll be posting this recipe a bit later, and just so you know, I have updated the post below with the recipe for the warm lentil salad.
