I have been wanting to make one these too...saving for Mother's Day. Does it bake at 350 or 325 and for how long?
The CC recipe below says 350 for 25-30 mins so it's probably close.

I made the crustong Cream Cheese frosting here and added some pureed strawberries to it and it was soooo good I could have eaten it with a bowl and spoon, it was like ice cream.
I'm going to try it with some pineapple nectar for the hummingbird I think... if I can get it thick enough to hold a cupcake swirl.
I think cupcakes with a swirl and a cherry on top and some additional pecans are in the making for this aftrenoon.![]()
Y'all are making me hungry with these recipes! ![]()
I made a hummingbird cake recently with one of the recipes on this site. To be perfectly honest, it tasted mostly like banana bread to me, and I didn't even put in all the bananas the recipe called for. Now don't get me wrong, I like banana bread, I just wasn't expecting the cake to taste the same.
Yeah, after I made it thiss weekend, I was a little disappointed in the taste. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE banana bread also and you're right, that's pretty much what it tasted like. It was a good taste, I just had something a little fruitier in mind... I wanted the pineapple to be more prominent I guess.
It was a good cake though.
I made a pineapple cream cheese frosting, which was delicious, but it didn't compliment the cake as well as I thought.
I actually found 2 recipes for Hummingbird cake. One from Art Smith's restaurant in Chicago and another from Axis of Aevil's blog. One called for undrained crushed pineapple and the other called for drained. I used the one with undrained pineapple and the cake turned out super moist and had a very nice pineapple and banana flavor.
Here's an awesome Hummingbird Cake recipe. I used it for my throwdown cake here last year and my m-i-l, who hardly ever eats cake, actually requested it for her birthday cake and even ate some both times!
