Hummingbird cake tastes like the best banana bread ever, crossed with a carrot cake that some absent-minded baker forgot to bake with the carrots and raisins. Fun fact: in Jamaica, hummingbirds are called "doctor birds," so as you might guess, in Jamaica this cake is called "doctor bird cake." When searching for a stunning Easter cake, a Mother's Day cake, or a cake made from scratch for any special occasion, hummingbird cake is the answer!ĭespite the rumors, there never was (and hopefully never will be!) any actual hummingbirds in hummingbird cake! This layered masterpiece got its name from its home country, Jamaica, where the hummingbird is the national bird. Hiding beneath the thick swoops of cream cheese frosting are two cake layers, gently spiced with cinnamon and kept soft with generous additions of ripe banana and crushed pineapple. Sweet, tender, and comforting, hummingbird cake is basically a two-layer dessert hug.
