“Rumor has it, this crowd-pleasing cake got its name because every bite makes you hum with delight.” And that we did. Micah made my birthday cake from a recipe link I had sent her months ago. It is called the Hummingbird Cake. It has all of my favorite ingredients: pineapple, nuts, bananas, cream cheese just to name a few. The recipe originally ran in 1978 and has become one of the most requested recipes in Southern Living history. This signature Southern dessert has been a favorite of many for almost forty years. Hats off to Micah for making me “hum” all though my piece of birthday heaven.
