Hummingbird Cake

January 19th 2009 18:22
I was in a baking mood on the day I was invited to a friends housewarming dinner. Instead of bringing a cheese platter as initially directed, I asked out host if I could instead bring a dessert - he was delighted and so I began baking a Hummingbird Cake. This recipe is taken from Sweet and Savoury Bites written by Jane Price.

Hummingbird Cake

2 ripe bananas
130g crushed pineapple
285g caster sugar
210g self-raising flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
170ml oil
60ml pineapple juice
2 eggs

ICING

60g unsalted butter, softened
125g cream cheese, softened
185g icing sugar
1-2 teaspoons lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Lightly grease a 20cm square cake tin and line with baking paper.

Place the banana, pineapple and sugar in a large bowl. Add the sifted flour and cinnamon. Stir together with a wooden spoon until well combined.

Whisk together the oil, pineapple juice and eggs. Pout onto the banana mixture and stir until combined and the mixture is smooth.

Spoon into the tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Leave in the tin for 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.

To make the icing, beat the butter and cream cheese using eletric beaters until smooth. Gradually add the icing sugar alternating with the lemon juice. Beat until thick and creamy.

Spread the icing thickly over the top of the cooled cake.
