I think I will stick to my low fat carrot cake with fat free cream cheese frosting. This cake has 2 grams of fat per square (18 servings from a 9 x 13 pan)


The Humming bird cake has 36 grams of fat per slice, if you sliced that cake into 12 pieces.


LOL,

I can eat the whole carrot cake and have the same fat grams as 1 slice of the hummingbird cake.

My MIL loved to make it. I could gain weight just smelling it cooking. LOVE it, but can't afford the calories these days.

Hummingbird cake is the best. It's always a hit everywhere I take one. Never any leftovers.

Google it and you'll find about 100 other recipes. Hands down, one of the BEST Southern cakes out there. And it's practically a health food. Bananas, pineapple, nuts, cheese. Make sure you eat a ol' big piece for the nutritional value. ;)

Martha's recipe sounds too junky to me. It's overdone with extra calories. Here is the Southern one that I did.

I think this is the orginal recipe. I only used one cup of brown sugar and I didn't use the frosting (typo in my previous posting). the frosting is a killer. The cake taste wonderful without the frosting...
