Ingredients

CAKE BATTER
1 1/2 c chopped pecans
3 c all purpose flour
2 c sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
1/2 tsp salt
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 3/4 c mashed ripe bananas (about 4 large)
1 can(s) (8-oz.) crushed pineapple (do not drain)
3/4 c canola oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
GLAZE
4 oz cream cheese, cubed and softened
2 c sifted powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 to 2 Tbsp milk

Steps:

1. Prepare Cake Batter: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
2. Stir together flour and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in eggs and next 4 ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Sprinkle 1 cup toasted pecans into a greased and floured 14-cup Bundt pan. Spoon batter over pecans.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 2 hours).
4. Prepare Glaze: Process cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 Tbsp. milk in a food processor until well blended. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. milk, 1 tsp. at a time, processing until smooth. Immediately pour glaze over cooled cake, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup toasted pecans.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Hummingbird bundt cake is a delicious, moist, and flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you enjoy it plain or with frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give hummingbird bundt cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
