Hummingbird Cake

I've had many a Hummingbird Cake in my life, but hadn't thought about them in forever until this post on Cookie Madness. I had an itching to bake something, so I stopped at the store for relevant ingredients and threw it together at home. Although, I forgot one of the most relevant of relevant ingredients, eggs, so I had to make do with a two-layer cake instead of a three-layer monster cake. Sigh. Silver lining - more frosting for the remaining layers.

Here are the cake ingredients taking a spin - flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, oil, eggs, banana, pineapple, cinnamon...


Into the greased pans and the oven with the batter for 28 minutes:

While they cool, onto the icing! Mmm. Cream cheese and butter.

Frosting time - early stages:


And then heap all the rest of the frosting on top - yes, Virginia, that is an obscene amount of cream cheese frosting:

Tada! Oh wait, it's missing something...it's very rustic looking, no?

There we go....

Mmm...creamy fruity deliciousness....
