Hummingbird cake is my obsession. I love banana desserts(get your minds out of the gutter), and the concept of hummingbird cake, being this Southern hummingbird cake with Caribbean roots, is just so fascinating to me. Plus the name is just so pleasant and cute. My version of hummingbird cake usually is made with this brown…

Dreamy Hummingbird Cake
Hummingbird cake is something that I really fell in love with making in 2024, when I made this really tall one featuring a ginger cream cheese namelaka and a miso caramel. Generally speaking, a hummingbird cake consists of a lightly cinnamon-spiced banana cake that may or may not have pineapple, pecans, and coconut in it,…
Hummingbird Cake with Miso Caramel and Ginger Cream Cheese Ganache

Pineapple upside down layer cake
So with all of the recipe-testing I have been doing, not going to lie, there’s been a LOT of leftover components here and there accumulating.
