Easy Hummingbird Cake (From a Boxed Cake Mix)

"I found this one a while ago in a random internet search. I messed around with the ingredients until I had a cake that made our family happy. It is loaded with pineapple, banana and cherries and the cherry juice gives it a nice pink tint so you could serve it to your sweetheart. I usually make it on the first day of spring (or when I have some bananas that need used up). I hope you enjoy!"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
  • Divide mixture equally between 2 greased 9" round cake pans.
  • Bake on both pans on middle oven rack for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes then remove cakes from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
  • Place one cake (the "bottom" one) on a plate and frost with cream cheese frosting, taking care to make it heavier on top.
  • Place the other cake (the "top" cake) on top of the already frosted cake to create a layer cake.
  • Frost the top cake so it blends with the bottom cake and forms a two-tier layer cake.
  • NOTE: If the cakes are not flat on the top, use a long knife to cut the "baking bump" off so they are flat BEFORE you frost them. It will give them a more uniform appearance.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River. Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born. The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good. I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
