#MY RECIPES HUMMINGBIRD CAKE PLUS#
I rarely brag if I can help it (I guess I can't help it more often than I think! ) but the BEST cream cheese buttercream recipe lives on this blog! It has all the familiar tang of cream cheese buttercream plus one secret ingredient that makes it better than all the rest! Speaking of cream cheese frosting, well besides hummingbird cake history lessons, it's one of my favorite topics. 1x 2x 3x 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons. And you can be sure that included a bomb cream cheese frosting! Hummingbird Cake is usually three round layers containing bananas, cinnamon, pineapple and pecans, and is usually topped with a cream cheese frosting. It took flight! (Pun very much intended.) This cake became Southern Living's voters' favorite recipe in 1990. Ten years after a 1968 export from Jamaica's Tourist Board of local Jamaican recipes (including this dessert), Southern Living printed the hummingbird cake recipe.

Locals call this the Doctor Bird cake, which is their nickname for this particular type of fine feathered friend. This cake was first created in Jamaica, where significantly, the national bird is the scissors-tail hummingbird.
