Shall we start with Easter dessert first? I realized as I was making this cake, that it is essentially the same recipe that I used for Banana Nut Muffins. The exception is less oil in the cake and honestly, I think it could have used the oil for a little more moisture. Good gracious, I am sure there would be about 1200 calories in one slice, but for special occasions it would be totally worth it. :) I also was a little disappointed in the recipe's amount of icing. I barely had enough to cover the cake (and definitely not as much as the picture on SL website showed), so next time, I will probably make 1-1/2 times the recipe of icing. Otherwise, it hit the spot. I would have loved to include the nuts, but I managed to allow the nut haters in my family to talk me out of using them. They could be optional, and don't change the original taste of the recipe much.
I used the Hummingbird Cake recipe from Southern Living.
