Family Meals It’s simple to prepare this hummingbird cake with crushed pineapple and ripe bananas. A delectable dessert that is sure to impress is topped with a creamy cream cheese icing! For a special occasion, crush extra nuts and push them into the frosting’s sides.
Additionally, since the flavor of this recipe depends on two fruits, be careful to use the appropriate varieties of each fruit:
Spotty and brown bananas. Your bananas will taste better the uglier they are. Strange, but accurate. Bananas that have already been frozen can also be used. Let the bananas thaw at room temperature. Remove any surplus liquid, mash, and proceed as directed in the recipe that follows.
Crushed and canned pineapple. It is quite acceptable to use fresh pineapple that you crush yourself if you so like!
