Hummingbird Cake Recipe Demonstration - Joyofbaking.com

Recipe here: www.joyofbaking.com/Hummingbir... Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make a Hummingbird Cake. Hummingbird Cake is such a lovely name. Although no one seems to know why or how this name came about, it does seem plausible that it may have something to do with how sugary rich this cake is - just like the nectar that Hummingbirds love to feed on.

[@myboibill]

Have not watched in a while. Yours is one of the top baking sites on KZbin if not the best. Thanks.

I agree!

[@Kahleah727]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made it today. I followed the recipe exactly as you have it here.....It was incredible! Moist, soft, flavorful and the texture was wonderful! 5 stars from me!

[@christinehope3303]

Made this for today (Mother’s day) and it was a big hit. Absolutely delicious. Never heard of this type of cake where I live. In the Southwest. And now it’s a family favorite. Elegant spin on the banana bread! Great recipe ! Thank you!

[@gardengirl6053]

I've been making this cake for many years. It is always a hit. The name is said to come from a room full of people eating the cake ....MMMMMMMM ( because it's so good) sounds like a hummingbird.

[@SnippetsOne]

I baked this cake this weekend. I could not be happier with the results! I can't wait to bake one for the office. This could very well become my "specialty" cake, as it has now become my favorite dessert recipe. I substituted cake flour. To help reduce doming, I used a set of those damp strips that go around the pans. That seemed to have added a few minutes to the baking time, which started to concern me; however, it all ended well. :) Thank you, Stephanie! And welcome to Coastal Georgia!

[@suztheultimateq2011]

Love Hummingbird cake! Grew up in the southern part of the U.S. and this is a spring staple. Thanks so much for sharing it and for making a traditional version of this classic.

[@denisehamilton007]

I always find when I want to bake something You make it so much more simple than others Hummingbird Cake originally from Jamaica and it had coconut instead of pecans Pecans were add to the cake when Americans came back from Jamaica on the 40's and 50's very popular in the USA during the 60's & 70's Coconut is really fabulous with this cake also use coconut oil Enjoy your baking 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@evelynhayward2890]

I made this cake Sunday night for dessert. I must tell you that my family ate almost the whole cake. My sister, who is not a cake eater, loved this cake. Thank you for the recipe. I will be making it again, probably for my friends at Christmas.

[@laylarose8463]

This looks so wonderful I'm going love making this cake. The ganache was very delicious, so I know I'm going to enjoy this hummingbird cake. It really does have a lovely name.

[@wakallen-bowring5543]

I came across this recipe as a kitchen hand in a Aged Care Facility. I made it for the residents,which they loved reminding them of days gone by. Several residents came down to thank me which I admit was a gorgeous great tasting cake.

[@3637eGamez]

Ma'am every time i watch your baking videos I end up with a watery mouth! What a delicious cake!

[@helenburghardt3560]

Hi Stephanie, thank you so much for yet another beautiful cake recipe. I am so gonna try this one! I am a great fan of your baking and love the way you walk us through each ingredient with measurements as well! Not many people do that here! Each time when I want to try a new cake recipe, I always make sure to check if you do have similar one. If you do, I will always drop the one I have and follow yours! I look forward to see more of your upcoming videos!

[@TheCookworm]

[@foodjazz]

Beautiful Hummingbird Cake, Stephanie!

[@dorispowell7643]

You're truly adorable Stephanie; so glad I found your channel, what fabulous recipes! 😁👌🏻

[@evelynhayward2890]

This cake looks like a winner. I am going to try it. I made your coconut cream pie for supper tonight and there is nothing left. It was the best coconut pie we have ever eaten. Thank you.

[@ritaburleson1224]

Have you ever put this receipe on Pinterest ? I believe this is the best Humming Bird cake recipe, I've ever read, watched... I must make one ... You give great directions with some life baking skills you've learned along the way. It looks so good.

[@bhampatty1]

One of the best food videos I have seen. No editing out parts for the sake of brevity and leaving us to wonder, for example, how long do I actually stir this? Thank you.

[@magdalenarodriguez3652]

Oohhh my god !!! this cake is delicious, I made it last night, and I can't stop eating all by myself ! the combination of the pineapple and the bananas soo good, and the cream cheese frosting wonderful, the pecans gives to the frosting a delicious taste ! thank U for sharing this good recipes!

[@amnashafaat1013]

This recipe is too good and tastes so delicious that my entire family loved it. All i did was to reduce the amount of sugar and it paired well with the sweetness of the bananas and pineapple. Thanks for sharing:) loved it !

[@S25ish]

You are excellent to watch & the first person I look for if I need to know anything about cooking. Thanks so much. Cheers 😘😍❤️😊🥰💕

[@star4861]

I love all the cakes that you baked. thank you for sharing with us. I learned baking thru you from your website and channel. God bless you abundantly.

[@sweetk2456]

OMG I love and I mean I love your videos! You really give us fool proof and delicious recipes! I'm a baker too and I have to say I absolutely love that you always give out the recipes in volume and in weight, I'm a scale freak so for me that is the way to go to always get perfect results! I have the same Kenwood model and as it is fairly new was wondering if you did the thing about adjusting the hight of the beater, I kind of remember I read something like that on the instructions booklet but some how haven't got the time to go around it again! TIA Cheers from Argentina!

[@joyofbaking]

SweetK Thank you for your kind comments. Yes, I did have to slightly adjust the height of the beater when I first got my mixer.

[@GoodGuyNickPT]

I love how you convert all the values ;) Gonna try this

[@SnippetsOne]

Love your videos, Stephanie. I'm planning on trying your tiramisu recipe this weekend. I've just mastered baking my own ladyfingers. After that, this cake is next on my list! I love your personality and the way you instruct. I also love the fact that you give measurements by weight. Thanks for doing what you do. I'm a male in my 50's and just now learning the Joys of Baking!

[@Aissshh]

[@sinsationalfem]

This cake is sooooo good! It would be perfect for Mother's Day!

[@leeannafitzgerel8740]

I have made these for years, but I don't frost it or add nuts at all. It is perfect without them.

[@itsallgoodwithmarkmelonee4231]

Reply its a Jamaican cake.

[@itsallgoodwithmarkmelonee4231]

Cherokee Heart CT I’m referring to the origin of the cake.

[@itsallgoodwithmarkmelonee4231]

Cherokee Heart CT yeah I know it was a rename from it’s original. I also think the ingredients have been changed a tad bit too.

[@user-lq3sr8nh5m]

Made it today and this cake is just perfect! Thank you!

[@mhengmatts2574]

That looks delish. I would try it. Of late i just have a passion for all cake types. Thank you.

[@cassball7]

From what I’ve read the cake is Jamaican in origin. The hummingbird is their national bird.

[@jacquelinebourg9743]

Jamaican? I know the Dark Rum Fruit Cake has Jamaican origins...

[@carolb4881]

That is where I first ate and fell in love with this cake..it use to be called Dr bird cake ..that is also what the hummingbird is called in Jamaica.

[@katherinepaisley5486]

That’s what I’ve heard also.

[@kingspal99]

Update: My baby sister helped me make this cake the exact way you demonstrated. It was so good, never had nothing like it. Now this Friday a few ladies from my family (exception of me), will be having a cake bake off. So my sister will be going with this famous Hummingbird cake. I will be assisting her. Of course she will win 1st place🥇 with this recipe. Thanks for all you’re videos. ♥️

[@ummusaleem]

[@joyofbaking]

Happy Birthday to your Mom.

[@angua65]

This look so tasty and I want it to try this recipe but I wonder if it's possible to bake dough in one mold and cut it later? (my oven is not that big and I have one mold) I wonder how much longer I should bake it then? Or should I rather use a big square one (dough will be thinner spread in it so easier to bake it properly) and cut it in half...

[@DrLamya]

Thank you so much about that delicious recipes.

[@elizabethelvis6034]

Thanks Stephanie for sharing this recipe.

[@aishwaryac5166]

Love this cake and your recipe 😍I just wanted to know for how long can I store this cake from the day of preparing it?

[@rizliztin]

I love this cake.. thank you sooooo much for the recipe. I've baked this cake for my family without the frosting (none of us like rich frosting).. could I leave the baked cake only in airtight container on countertop or should I refrigerate it since it contaibs banana and pineapple? Thank you in advance.. I love all your recipes!!

[@mlhandy]

I made this cake today and it is absolutely amazing.

[@ruthhutchinson4922]

Great presentation. Will make it soon.

[@hamidabegum6021]

[@benitaaltidor1979]

Hi nice recipe if a person is allergic to nuts can i just omit the nuts and will it still be as good? or is the pecan a must?

[@lrynhart3110]

I love all your videos!!

[@SuperMima1993]

[@1904say]

This recipe sounds delish. Love the ingredients. I think I will halve the recipe.. and make it as a single layer cake.. to make a smaller cake.

Wonderful amazing cake. I baked it for my daughter’s birthday. Question is. Can i keep the frosting in the freezer? And if yes how long ?

[@user-ni8xc1zh6e]

WOW! Really looks good ~ ~ I would like to resemble your cooking skills!!

[@parkersullivan9828]

Could you brown the butter in the frosting? Would you have to add more sugar if you did this?
