Steps:
- Prepare the Cake Layers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl; add eggs and oil, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in vanilla, pineapple, bananas, and toasted pecans.
- Divide batter evenly among 3 well-greased (with shortening) and floured 9-inch round cake pans.
- Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks, and cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating at low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Increase speed to medium-high, and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Assemble Cake: Place first cake layer on a serving platter; spread top with 1 cup of the frosting. Top with second layer, and spread with 1 cup frosting. Top with third layer, and spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Arrange pecan halves on top of cake in a circular pattern.

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.

TROPICAL DELIGHT HUMMINGBIRD CAKE
Found in Healthy Cooking magazine. The first change I made was not to frost this cake just to help with calories and fat content and instead I dusted it right before serving with some powdered sugar. The recipe uses applesauce in place of much of the oil and a smaller amount of sugar and walnuts in standard Hummingbird Cakes. These cakes are a very popular staple in Southern USA states. (I have included their take on a cream cheese frosting in the Directions only - in case you want to use that instead of the powdered sugar).

Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat the bananas, crushed & drained pineapple, applesauce, oil, eggs and vanilla until well blended.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and cinnamon.
- Gradually beat the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until blended.
- Hand stir in the walnuts.
- Pour into a 15x10x1-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray.
- Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick test comes out clean.
- Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Before serving I dust each piece with a bit of sieved confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar). The original recipe called for a Cream Cheese Frosting. To make this: in a large bowl, beat 1 package (8 oz) of reduced fat cream cheese with 1/3 cup reduced fat butter until fluffy. Add 3 cups confectioner's sugar and 1 tsp vanilla and beat more until smooth. Spread this over the cake and sprinkle with an extra 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. If you use the frosting you will need to refrigerate this cake!

HUMMINGBIRD CAKE
This super-simple tropical cake contains a hefty amount of mashed bananas and crushed pineapple. Often associated with the American South, where it is believed to have adopted a cream cheese frosting, it most likely originated in Jamaica, where it was called a Doctor Bird Cake. ("Doctor bird" is the nickname of Jamaica's national bird, the red-billed streamertail hummingbird.) Some say this cake is sweet enough to attract even hummingbirds, while others say the name derives from how bananas, a key ingredient in the cake, resemble the bird's beak. The end result tastes similar to banana bread, but with the moistness and flavor of a spice-filled carrot cake.

Steps:
- Prepare the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease three (9-inch) cake pans with nonstick baking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In a second large bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed bananas, sugars, oil and vanilla.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet ingredients to the center of the well. Gently fold using a rubber spatula to combine. Add the pineapple and pecans, and fold again until just incorporated.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cake pans. Bake until golden, cooked through and an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Move the cakes to a wire baking rack to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove from the pans and allow to cool completely on the wire racks
- As cakes cool, make the cream cheese frosting: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Mix on low speed until all the ingredients just come together. Then, increase the speed to medium and mix until creamy and smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Assemble the cake: Place the first layer of the cake top-side down onto a cake stand or plate. Spread the top with cream cheese frosting. Repeat with the second two layers, always placing the top side down to create a very flat surface. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Place whole toasted pecan halves around the rim of the cake. Garnish with the dried pineapple and edible flowers, as desired. Slice and serve.
