Aww thanks, so glad you liked it, and feel honored it went in the 'special recipe file'. Thanks for letting me know. I wish I had a piece of it right now. Your changes sound good.

Thanks for sharing this recipe, I had never even heard of a hummingbird cake. I decided to give it a try and it turned out pretty good. The recipe said to use chopped bananas so I did, however if I make it again next time I think I will smash the bananas. I'm surprised at how much we liked it cause usually I goof things up.

I make this Hawaiian Wedding Cake at least 4 times a month and have for years. it is so popular with everyone that I can make it and friends drop in and they always request this cake. It can be stored in the refrigerator seldom does it ever get there though. No matter where i go and take food every one asks if I brought this cake with me. Hope if you make it you enjoy it as much as we all do.

This was the first cake I ever made from scratch.  In addition to tasting absolutely wonderful, it was the tallest two layer cake I have ever seen.  I shared it with my MIL because my DH and I could never eaten it all. Does it normally come out so tall?

I just now am seeing your reply. So glad you liked it. I agree about smashing the bananas, we like it better that way too.

It is REALLY good! Everyone I have ever served it to loved it and asked for the recipe.

So glad you liked the cake. Yes, it is tall, I think any 'scratch' cake is taller than ones made from a mix. Thanks for letting me know you and your family enjoyed it.

Here are the baking instructions from Southern Living for making this as a bundt cake:

Bake at 350° for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 2 hours).

Does anyone think this could be done in a bundt pan?
