[@bachirbougaila9348]

who dislikes this amazing talent and bright light in this gloomy time. sending you much love from the UK !!!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Thank you Bachir 😊

[@christinerutherford1780]

Agreed.... love your content

[@MarcoMeerman]

I am a nutritionist, WFPB since 2018, but by doing these recipes, I learn so much. I am going to embrace your video's

[@LisaLightning]

So great, I’m getting so disgusted seeing these best selling books by so-called nutritionists urging people to eat food that will kill them. I feel like going back to school to be a nutritionist myself, I’m really curious what they are teaching there.

[@dianehall6686]

For additional rising, use 1 T apple cider vinegar, stirred into the almond milk. It makes a kind of buttermilk that reacts with the baking soda. We never use salt, so for the salt in the cake batter, substitute Ener-G baking soda substitute, which again assists with rising. I will be making this into cupcakes (so much easier) and adding shredded carrot. Thanks for all of your wonderful work!

[@loriwilliams2167]

That's a great idea. Yum!

[@blk3118]

If you make this into cupcakes, how long do you bake them? Also what is the amount of grated carrots do you add? Thanks.

[@dianehall6686]

@@blk3118 I haven’t made them yet, so I don’t know. I’d start with grating 1 carrot. As far as baking time goes, let’s start with 30 minutes? and keep checking on them until they’re springy and light brown on top. My oven is a 1950 O’Keefe & Merritt, so my baking times might be way off compared to modern stoves. Since I'm going for a carrot cake type of flavor, I'd also add 1/2 tsp. each of cloves, ginger and nutmeg.

[@sharonoflondon3365]

Maybe fresh lemon juice too if you have it on hand (interchangeable, but must be fresh).

[@kimberlymarcus3257]

Diane Hall. Maybe add some raisins if your going for carrot cake flavor.

[@asloan193]

I love that you admit when you are wrong and you make a correction. So many people would just rerecord and pretend they never did anything wrong, but being wrong is when we learn. Thank you

[@erinhannah8566]

This would be AMAZING with toasted coconut inside of the cake and sprinkled on top!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Agreed 👍❤️

[@christinerutherford1780]

Omg yes

[@arkude]

So made the cake just now. It's truly unbelievable! So tasty! And guess what, I completely forgot to add the dates to the cake, but it came out just fine. I guess the bananas were really ripe and the pineapple was quite sweet too. But the icing on the cake has to be the frosting! Pun fully intended! My daughter couldn't believe that it didn't come out of a Betty crocker tin! You are doing such an amazing job for all of us who are doing plant based nutrition. A huge big thank you! All the way from Singapore :)

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Thank you so much Arathi! I am so glad that you are enjoying the cake. =)

[@cathyecooper4376]

arathi desai - great !! Lol.. to cut down on the calories, I'm gonna leave them out too😃👍🏼

[@bonitamacphee4313]

Love how you take your time and also have everything measured and ready to go. How you step by step the recipe is so easy to understand.

[@anjakuppers5069]

My jongest dochter went vegan not so long ago. Her 22th birthday is coming soon and i will try to make this cake for her

[@TracyD2]

Anja Küppers Did you make it? Was she surprised. I’m thinking about making this for my daughter as well. Happy Birthday to her.

[@connytidwell8652]

Anja, ich hoffe es gelingt :) bzw. es ist gelungen.

[@barbaramartinetti]

Jill...love all your recipes.......can you imagine if all of America ate this way? (of course you do) We'd have such a healthy, active population!

[@Authorthings]

Keep encouraging your friends and family.

[@ymunoz4894]

This cake is delicious. I made it twice already for birthdays. I suggest double checking the dates are pitted before throwing them in the blender and soaking the dates for the frosting. Also allowing the pecans to brown really enhances the flavor of the frosting. I also doubled the lemon juice for the amazing frosting and made lemon rind sprinkles. Thank you very much for sharing!

[@mariadiantherese9663]

Very creative and healthy spin on an otherwise rich cake! I do want to try this. My heart went out to you for having to double your work but I just love that you don't take a goof that seriously. We all miss an ingredient every now and then. Great recipe, thank you!

[@diniemadsen4778]

I just subscribed to your channel after watching a few times, you not only have nice recipes, your presentation is very nice too, I always look at both, I can’t stand the people who keep talking with a loud voice, this is exactly right for me, thank you, going to try this one too.

[@mariadiantherese9663]

I made this for a family gathering. It was wonderful!

[@cathyjohnston240]

I made this cake this morning. Perfect for a special occasion! It’s delicious! I didn’t have flax so used chia seeds and it was fine. Thank you for freely sharing this recipe!

[@scienceislove2014]

When I'm sick...i watch your videos...so calming and amazing recipes

[@doris3594]

I was so inspired by this video that I bought ‘The Girl Who Chased the Moon’ at our Half Price Bookstore and made the cake using this wonderful recipe this morning. Its a sweet story and a quick read and just what I need now that were cooped up at home and the world outside seems dark lately. Hummingbird Cake will be our Father’s Day dessert. Thank you for introducing Sarah Allen and this wonderful recipe! I can’t wait to dig in!!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

That is fantastic Dorichan❤️

[@dhbloom]

I just made this cake!! I did not have any pineapple so I substituted it with fresh mango. This cake is unbelievably delicious!! I always thought I was more of a chocolate or vanilla cake kind of girl but this? Incredibly delicious!! Thank you so much!!

[@alainadacosta1222]

This channel is just what I needed as I am trying to reduce my refined sugar intake. Hummingbird cake sounds really good

Hello from Canada. Thks for that scrumptious cake. Absolutely yummy just going by the ingredients. Always loved morning glory muffins which is a pretty close country cousin of Humminbird cake. Love the tropical aspect to this cake. Geat presentation and thks for ur wonderful recipe. Subscribed. Keep up the geat recipes

[@emileeanderson5603]

The frosting really blew me away!!! It was absolutely delicious! I’m allergic to cinnamon so I substituted the cinnamon for nutmeg, and it added so much flavor. Thank you so much for this AWESOME RECIPE

[@toddhathaway6864]

Use whipped aqua faba in the place of the egg. Makes it so light and fluffy.

[@karennesbitt9655]

How much aqua faba did you use?

[@hummertime09]

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing cake recipe. I have been wanting to make this forever but plant-based. I made this wonderful cake for my mom's birthday and all the non-vegans just loved it. So very good!! Thank you Jill! Going to join and buy the book. Love your bread recipe too!! : )

[@RN-mn3jn]

OMG I have obsessed over Hummingbird Cake for 30 years....lol. It is the feature so often in my southern magazines and books. I still have my Southern Living Cookbook where the Hummingbird Cake is the main feature of a Southern garden party. I found it to be an expensive cake to make. But this is like a gold mine what you've done ♥️ To have such pure ingredients and natural sugars is such a game changer. I will be making this cake next week for our desserts! And I've already written it down on a recipe card to go in my recipe box. Yes...lol...I actually still keep a physical recipe box in my kitchen. I keep my best loved and often used recipes in it....so my children will always have them also. I know this is behind the times of digital but it's nice to have the recipe in my box. Thank you!!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

That is really sweet ❤️

[@lindagoode1251]

I have never heard of hummingbird cake, but I do love to read. So, I bought the book and read it and now, I’ve bought and finished her first book, too!! I love the stories. I just finished baking the cake and waiting for it to cool, so I can frost it. Thank you Jill, for not only a wonderful recipe, but for giving me another author to read. I know I will reread these books in the future. They make me feel good and they are perfect for getting my head and heart to a good place.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Absolutely! My favorite book of hers is Garden Spells, second is Sugar Queen👍

[@sabrinawatson3194]

I made this cake yesterday. Tastes great! I put it in one pan so the middle is a bit soft. So next time I will separate into 2 pans. But definitely going to make it again!! Thanks Jill

[@は私です彼の名前]

Just FYI for anyone who is concerned about GI. Once you blend up dates to nothing, the GI is really high. It is not as if you were eating a whole date, where the GI is much lower. Same with nut butters and pastes and smoothies.
