Tempt My Tummy Tuesday - Hummingbird Cake

I have recently found a great blog for new recipes at The Southern Lady Cooks  and last week I made her Hummingbird Cake.  

The cake is moist and very good and easy to make in my yellow bowl!  All the ingredients I had on hand and as I said you basically make it in one bowl and don't even need the mixer.

We had the 4 TLC's for a few days so the cake was enjoyed.  Our new neighbors enjoyed a couple of pieces too.

Here is the recipe from her blog:

This hummingbird cake is so good. It never lasts long at my house. I read somewhere it is called hummingbird cake because it is so sweet the hummingbirds will eat it!

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

3 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups oil (I used Canola)

1 (8 ounce can) crushed pineapple, undrained

2 cups bananas, mashed or about 3 large bananas

1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped

 

Combine flour, sugar, soda, salt, cinnamon.  Mix together with whisk.  Add eggs, vanilla extract, oil, pineapple, bananas and pecans and mix with a spoon until all ingredients are wet.  Spray 3 (9 inch) round cake pans or a 9 x 13 inch pan.  Add batter and bake in preheated 350 degree oven 30 to 35 minutes until cake is done in center.  Frost with cream cheese frosting.  Enjoy!

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened

1 stick butter or margarine or 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons

2 cups confectionery sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

Whip all frosting ingredients together with mixer until smooth and of spreading consistency.

The 4 TLC's that fill these shoes sure enjoyed the cake made in the yellow bowl.
