HUMMINGBIRD BUNDT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE GLAZE

With Easter just around the corner, I wanted to share a few recipes this week that will really wow your guests. I’ve been sitting on this Hummingbird Bundt Cake recipe for ages and knew that now was the perfect time to share it. As most of you know, my Nana’s To Die For Carrot Cake is a top contender around here when it comes to cake requests. This Hummingbird Cake isn’t far behind. Made with many of the same ingredients, including pineapple and pecans, it’s decadently moist and perfectly spiced.

Cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves ensure that every bite of this delicious cake is filled with flavor. The bananas and pineapple ensure a moist cake no matter what – this cake is impossible to mess up.

The cream cheese glaze is something else entirely and over the years I started to add a bit of orange juice to my standard recipe. I love how the orange plays with the cinnamon and cloves in the cake. A bit of orange zest on top really brightens up the cake too.


I use the term “glaze” loosely here. It’s really a cross between a frosting and a glaze. Add more orange juice to the glaze for a thinner consistency.
