How To Make hummingbird cake
-
1Preheat oven to 350F. Spray 3 (8 inch) round cake pans with nonstick baking spray with flour. Line bottoms of pans with parchment paper; spray with nonstick baking spray with flour. Set aside. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg; stir in pecans. In a small bowl, stir together banana, canola oil, vanilla, and eggs. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Fold in pineapple. Divide batter evenly among prepared pans. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 23-25 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.

2Make the cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Reserve 1 3/4 cups frosting for the pineapple pecan filling.
-
3Make the pineapple pecan filling: Pat pineapple dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, gently stir together pineapple, pecans, and cream cheese frosting until combined. Spread pineapple pecan filling between layers. Spread cream cheese frosting on top and sides of cake. Cover, and refrigerate overnight before serving.
