Made it right by the book but used fresh grated ginger. Can't believe how great it tastes. As for looks, lets just say that I'm no Duff Goldman.

Made for Easter Sunday. Followed the recipe exactly except for I used 8-oz canned crushed pineapple instead of fresh. This was DELISH. The frosting was to-die-for with the added lemon, it was so light. I plan on using this version whenever I need a cream cheese frosting and there was plenty to frost both layers and sides. All the guests raved about the recipe. A true keeper and I will be making this again for sure. Thanks!

I thought this cake was very good but the pineapple and banana flavor kind of baked out. I might try adding more than recommended or may add some flavoring. I also would bake it about 10 minutes less.

Excellent cake! I replaced the pineapple with apple bits and it seemed to work out fine. The frosting was delicious. Also, it was VERY easy to make. I recommend this cake!

I saw this cake recipe in the recent Food Network Magazine and thought I would give it a chance for a birthday at work. I didn't really have a lot of time so I took a few shortcuts:
1 Instead of 2 round cake pans layered, I used a rectangular 9 x 13 pan - This made it easier to ice and I served the cake in the pan.
2 I used store-bought cream cheese icing - mostly to save time, and I thought it tasted fine.
3 I garnished the top of the cake with bits of chopped pecans - It gave it a nice finished look.
Everyone in the office loved it and came back for seconds - I'm definitely adding this recipe to my rotation!!

I saw this recipe in the magazine and couldn't wait to try it. I'd always heard hummingbird cake was good, but I LOVE this cake! Even the picky kids loved it! Although they did ask if I put hummingbirds in it -- just a few - LOL! It's a cross between a banana nut bread and carrot cake, but with pineapple instead of carrot. I think they'd make great cupcakes and loaf bread but I've not tried that yet. You won't be disappointed; the flavor is perfect. Thanks FoodNetwork Magazine!

I made the Hummingbird Cake for my daughter's brithday yesterday, and everyone absolutely loved it! The cake was very moist and flavorful from the fresh bananas and pineapple, and the icing was to die for, too. Adding the lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture gives an already delicous frosting an element of freshness. I'm not really a 'baker', but found this recipe very easy to make and will definitely make this again!
