HUMMINGBIRD CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 350 and grease a large square cake pan (like 12x18). If you do not have a 12x18 pan, a 9x13 will work. Just cut all the ingredients in half.
• 2. First, mix cake mixes according to directions on the boxes except use melted butter in place of oil. Also, add vanilla extract.
• 3. Next add pineapple, smashed bananas, cinnamon, salt, and pecans.
• 4. Mix all this together well.
• 5. Pour into pan and cook for 25 to 30 min or until toothpick is inserted and comes out clean. Let cool and ice with cream cheese frosting.
• 6. For frosting, add cream cheese to mixing bowl. Add butter, confectioners sugar, and vanilla. Mix well.
• 7. Add milk, a little a the time, to get the consistency you want it to be.
• 8. Then frost cake after it cools and enjoy.

EASY HUMMINGBIRD CAKE (FROM A BOXED CAKE MIX)

Steps:

• 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.
