Walnut Hummingbird Cake

Ingredients

  • For the cake:
  • 3 C. all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. ground Ceylon cinnamon*
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 C. granulated sugar
  • 1 C. light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 lg. eggs
  • 1 C. vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 C. fresh pineapple, (crushed**)
  • 2 C. mashed banana (4 large, ripe bananas)
  • 1 C. chopped California walnuts
  • For the frosting:
  • 3/4 C. cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 lb. (three 8-oz. bars) cream cheese, chilled
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 C. sifted powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 C. chopped California walnuts
  • Notes:
  • *Ceylon cinnamon is smoother and sweeter than ordinary supermarket cinnamon. If you can't find it, and must use regular ground cinnamon, reduce the amount to 1 tsp.
  • **Mash 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks with a potato masher until finely crushed; you will have about 3/4 cup crushed pineapple.

Description

Sweet, Spicy And Very Moist. And The Flavor Becomes Even Better If The Cake Is Baked And Frosted The Day Before Serving. The Batter Is Easily Mixed By Hand, But You Will Need An Electric Mixer For The Frosting.
