How 'bout some Hummingbird cake? This is straight out of Fannie Flagg's Cookbook (you can find it in our Country Store)
Hummingbird Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 eggs, beaten
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 8oz can crushed pineapple
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups chopped bananas
Cream Cheese Frosting
Pre-heat oven to 350° . Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; add eggs, oil and vanilla. Stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Drain pineapple. Stir in pineapple with nuts and bananas. Pour into 3 greased and floured 9in cake pans. Bake for 25-35 minutes until done.
Ice with cream cheese frosting. Refrigerate. Fannie says this is even better the next day.
Now, that is a piece of South in your mouth!

It was really sweet of you to stop by my blog. Thank you and come back and visit often :) The title to your post scared me at first because I love humming birds haha. What a relief and the recipe sounds delicious :)
I love hummingbird cake but I've always wondered why they call it that.
Sandi, I think it would be harder to catch a bird in flight than sitting still. That's a good picture!
MaryAnn~ hummingbird cake is a southern favorite
Dot~ Thanks! =D
I've never had it but will remedy that this weekend!!! :D
It's always such a moist cake and I can never resist anything with cream cheese frosting!
I've heard of hummingbird cake, but never knew what the ingredients were. I wonder how it got the name?
Hummingbirds amaze me. I love watching them.
I've never tried hummingbird cake, but it sounds yummy.

I LOVE! Hummingbird Cake. And I like to make it because it's so easy. I made a 6-tiered one for my niece's wedding cake. It took three of us to move it after it was iced.
