Updated Hummingbird Cake
"Hummingbird Cake is the most requested recipe in Southern Living history. The recipe first appeared in the magazine in 1978 as a reader recipe submitted by Mrs. L.H. Wiggins of Greensboro, North Carolina; since then it's been the star at the table at family gathering across the South. This updated version has less sugar and oil than the original, fewer eggs, and half the salt. From: Classic Southern Desserts © 2010 by Oxmoor House, Inc. Buy the book..."
