CHEF JOHN'S HUMMINGBIRD CAKE
Depending on where you're from, this hummingbird cake is either your favorite cake, or you've either never heard of it! But it only takes making it one time to love it. This proven crowd-pleaser is pretty sweet but thanks to bananas, pineapples, and pecans, it's a much more interesting, tropical sweetness, and paired with an extra-light version of cream cheese frosting, it's really a perfect combination.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter two 9-inch round cake pans, then dust with flour. Set aside.
- Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl; whisk quickly to combine. Add oil and eggs and mix with a spatula until just combined.
- Add vanilla, pineapple, bananas, and toasted pecans, and mix until thoroughly combined. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Shake each pan then tap on the counter to settle the batter and bring any air bubbles to the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
- Let cakes cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Let cool completely, at least 1 hour.
- Combine cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment on high speed, mix until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary with a spatula. Mix in the powdered sugar on a lower speed in 3 or 4 additions until mostly incorporated. Increase to high speed and whip until light and fluffy.
- Place one cake on a serving platter. Spread 1/2 of the frosting on top, leaving 1/4 to 1/2 inch unfrosted at the edges. Top with second cake layer and give it a firm but gentle press. Pile remaining frosting on top and spread toward the outside.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, draw or trace a hummingbird template on a piece of paper and lay on a baking sheet under a silicone mat (such as Silpat®).
- Heat sugar for hummingbird in a saucepan over medium-low heat until dissolved, hot, and amber in color. Drip liquid sugar onto the silicon mat, tracing the hummingbird pattern. Let sit until hard.
- Place cooled hummingbird on top of cake and decorate with edible flowers.

HUMMINGBIRD HOLE PUNCH CAKE
This recipe is so easy and came from a magazine. When I fixed it the first time for a family Sunday dinner, my grandson told me that I had to fix it the next Sunday too. You have to refrigerate the cake at least four hours but I think its best when left overnight so I always make it the day before I need it.

HUMMINGBIRD CAKE

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center. Butter two 9 × 2-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper. Butter the paper, and dust the pans with flour, tapping out any excess. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the oil, vanilla, and sugar until combined, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, incorporating each before adding the next. Beat at medium speed until the mixture is pale yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the banana, pineapple, walnuts, and coconut. Add to the egg mixture; stir until well combined. Add the flour mixture; blend well.
- Divide the batter between the pans. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Transfer the pans to a greased wire rack. Let cool 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen. Invert onto the rack; reinvert, top side up. Cool completely. Assemble the cake, or wrap each layer well and freeze (thaw before using).
- With a serrated knife, trim and discard the rounded top off one layer. Place the layer on a serving platter. Using an offset spatula, spread the top of the layer with 1/4 inch frosting. Top with the untrimmed layer. Frost the sides and top of the cake with the remaining frosting. Decorate with pineapple flowers, if desired. Serve at room temperature. (The cake can be refrigerated up to 3 days.)
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and vanilla until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, gradually add the butter, beating until incorporated.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the sugar, beating until incorporated. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
- Preheat the oven to 225°F. Line 2 baking sheets with Silpats (French nonstick baking mats) or parchment paper.
- Peel the pineapples. Using a small melon baller, remove and discard the eyes. Slice the pineapple very thinly; place the slices on the baking sheets. Cook until the tops look dried, about 30 minutes. Flip the slices; cook until completely dried, 25 to 30 minutes more. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.
- The thinner you cut the pineapple slices, the faster they will dry-and the brighter their yellow core will be. When the pineapple core dries, it resembles the center of a flower.
