About
Hummingbird Sheet Cake
I’ve recently become obsessed with hummingbird cake. First, I love the name: it sounds pretty. Second, it’s almost a cross between four of my favorite sweets: coconut cake, frosted banana cake, carrot cake and banana bread. It’s sweet, but not overly so. It has texture, but is super moist. It’s rustic, yet elegant. Best of all, it’s a sheet cake and it’s incredibly easy to make.
