Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 ½ cups vegetable oil
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (8-oz.) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained (such as Publix Crushed Pineapple in Pineapple Juice)
2 cups chopped bananas (about 4 medium bananas)
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Vegetable shortening
2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup butter, softened
2 (16-oz.) packages powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup pecan halves, toasted

Steps:

  • Prepare the Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl; add eggs and oil, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in vanilla, pineapple, bananas, and toasted pecans.
  • Divide batter evenly among 3 well-greased (with shortening) and floured 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating at low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Increase speed to medium-high, and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Assemble Cake: Place first cake layer on a serving platter; spread top with 1 cup of the frosting. Top with second layer, and spread with 1 cup frosting. Top with third layer, and spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Arrange pecan halves on top of cake in a circular pattern.

HUMMINGBIRD CAKE



Hummingbird Cake image

This super-simple tropical cake contains a hefty amount of mashed bananas and crushed pineapple. Often associated with the American South, where it is believed to have adopted a cream cheese frosting, it most likely originated in Jamaica, where it was called a Doctor Bird Cake. ("Doctor bird" is the nickname of Jamaica's national bird, the red-billed streamertail hummingbird.) Some say this cake is sweet enough to attract even hummingbirds, while others say the name derives from how bananas, a key ingredient in the cake, resemble the bird's beak. The end result tastes similar to banana bread, but with the moistness and flavor of a spice-filled carrot cake.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick baking spray
3 3/4 cups/480 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups/340 grams overripe mashed bananas (about 3 bananas)
1 packed cup/220 grams dark brown sugar
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 cup/240 milliliters vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 (8-ounce/227-gram) cans crushed pineapple in juice (about 1 3/4 cups)
3/4 cup/85 grams chopped toasted pecan halves
2 (8-ounce/226-gram) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
7 1/3 cups/905 grams confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Heaping 3/4 cup/85 grams toasted pecan halves, for garnish
Dried pineapple rings and edible flowers, for garnish

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease three (9-inch) cake pans with nonstick baking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In a second large bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed bananas, sugars, oil and vanilla.
  • Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients to the center of the well. Gently fold using a rubber spatula to combine. Add the pineapple and pecans, and fold again until just incorporated.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cake pans. Bake until golden, cooked through and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Move the cakes to a wire baking rack to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove from the pans and allow to cool completely on the wire racks
  • As cakes cool, make the cream cheese frosting: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Mix on low speed until all the ingredients just come together. Then, increase the speed to medium and mix until creamy and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  • Assemble the cake: Place the first layer of the cake top-side down onto a cake stand or plate. Spread the top with cream cheese frosting. Repeat with the second two layers, always placing the top side down to create a very flat surface. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
  • Place whole toasted pecan halves around the rim of the cake. Garnish with the dried pineapple and edible flowers, as desired. Slice and serve.
