How To Make hummingbird cake
-
1Prepare cake batter. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake walnuts in a single layer in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through (if desired - not necessary to toast nuts).
-
2Stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Stir in eggs, bananas, crushed pineapple and oil, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in nuts. Spoon batter into greased and floured Bundt pan.
-
3Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 2 hours)
-
4Prepare glaze: Process cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon milk in a food processor until well blended. Add remaining 1 tablespoon milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, processing until smooth. Immediately pour glaze over cooled cake, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup nuts.
