"This delicious Hummingbird Cake is so moist and flavorful with bananas, pineapple, pecans, and cinnamon, and it all starts with a cake mix!..."
INGREDIENTS
•
1 box Yellow Cake Mix, sifted (We like Duncan Hines Classic Yellow -15.25 oz)
•
1/2 cup flour (61g)
•
3/4 cup sugar (150g)
•
1 teaspoon (4g) baking powder
•
1 teaspoon (3g) cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
•
1 1/2 teaspoon (6g) vanilla extract
•
3/4 cup oil (160g or 5.5 oz)
•
3 eggs
•
3 bananas, mashed (approximately 1 1/4 cup or 305g)
•
8 oz (227g) canned crushed pineapple (undrained)
•
3/4 cup (92g) chopped pecans. -- You can use additional on top of the cake if you'd like
•
2 sticks (or one cup, or 226g) unsalted butter, slightly softened
•
2 (8oz) packages cream cheese (total weight 452g) I use full fat cream cheese. Using reduced fat or the spreadable cream cheese will cause the frosting to be too soft. Soften very slightly.
•
1/2 teaspoon salt (2g) optional - it will cut the sweetness, popcorn salt is best to use because it is fine and dissolves faster
•
2 teaspoons (8 g) vanilla extract
•
6 to 6 1/2 cups (690g to 747g) powdered sugar
