Hummingbird Cake With Cream Cheese Icing

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife October 10, 2019October 10, 2019

This delicious Hummingbird Cake recipe with cream cheese icing has just jumped to the top of my list of favourite tasty cakes!

A lovely community member, Liz, recently baked The Organised Housewife team a hummingbird cake. Now I’ve never been a fan of pineapple or hummingbird cakes, but when Liz dropped the cake to our office I tried the cake out of politeness, so sweet of her to think of us… and oh my goodness it was absolutely delicious!

All the ladies in my team – plus Mr Organised! – devoured the cake and wanted seconds! It was the most delectable cake, and although I love my Caramel Banana Cake, I think this Hummingbird Cake recipe has trumped it for me! As we loved it so much I made it for all the family on the weekend, it’s so easy to make, all in the one bowl in my electric mixer.

How to make hummingbird cake with cream cheese icing

It’s funny how tastes change with age. Until recently I was never a fan of cooked pineapples, but now I love it on my pizzas, in my cakes (like this one!), and my Pineapple and Coconut Muffin recipe (page 31 of my Lunch Box Recipe Cookbook) would have to be my newest favourite muffin!

This cake is best stored in the fridge and served cold. I am sure it would freeze well too, although it didn’t last long enough in my house to test this out.

Tip: rather than having a two tiered cake you could make 2 smaller cakes – eat one, and freeze or share the other.

I made that cake but it turned out horrible! I did exactly like your recipe but added only 1cup sugar not 1.5cups.
It’s flat and rubbery ….?? the icing was delicious tho

Oh no Johanna, how disappointing! Perhaps that extra 1/2 cup sugar makes the difference? It turned out very yummy for me – and I definitely agree with your comments about the delicious icing! Kat x

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
