Hummingbird cake is a banana-pineapple spice cake common in the Southern United States. Ingredients include flour, sugar, salt, ripe banana, pineapple, cinnamon, pecans, vanilla extract, eggs, and leavening agent. It is often served with cream cheese frosting [1][2][3] The cake has been a tradition in Southern cuisine since the mid-20th century.[4] The first known publication of the recipe, as written by L.H. Wiggin, was in the February 1978 issue of Southern Living. The cake won the Favorite Cake Award later that same year at the Kentucky State Fair.
It was selected Southern Living's favorite recipe in 1990 and was noted as the most requested recipe in the magazine's history.[5] The cake typically has two or three layers with pecans (or walnuts), mashed bananas, crushed pineapple and cream cheese frosting.
