What is Hummingbird Cake?
Hummingbird cake is a banana and pineapple spice cake that originated in Jamaica. It’s been popular in the southern United States since the 1970s.
The original hummingbird cake is heavy on sugar, oil, eggs, and cream cheese. This bread version combines the great flavors of the cake with lightened-up ingredients.

Ingredients needed:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp allspice
1/3 cup cashew butter
2 bananas
3/4 cup canned pineapple chunks (drained)
3/4 cup frozen blueberries
2/3 cup almond milk
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8 inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients.
In a high-powered blender or food processor, mix the pineapple chunks and bananas until smooth. Pour in a medium sized bowl and add the rest of the wet ingredients (except the blueberries). Stir until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the blueberries.
Pour the mixture into the loaf pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Instead of the traditional cream cheese icing that goes on top of hummingbird cake, I chose a lighter version- non-dairy coconut yogurt. I topped it with coconut flakes and blueberries.
