Hummingbird Cake
Briefly

BA Bake Club introduces hummingbird cake, a beloved recipe with origins in Jamaica. Distinguished by its flavor reminiscent of pineapple upside-down cake and banana bread, it's made unique through a pineapple jam that enhances moisture without making the cake heavy. Combining bananas, crushed pineapple, and spices, this updated take avoids traditional pitfalls by layering the concentrated pineapple jam throughout. The frosting, reminiscent of whipped cream, brings a lightness that complements the cake, making it a favorite at the bake club.
The hummingbird cake is a delightful combination of banana, pineapple, and spices, with a unique twist of jam that enhances the traditional recipe.
Cooking down the pineapple with sugar and lime creates a concentrated flavor that balances beautifully with the light and airy cream-cheese frosting.
