Anytime I see a recipe with hummingbird in the title I perk up. I love hummingbird cake with its signature bananas, pineapples, nuts, coconut and spices. As a follower of FOOD52, I was intrigued by a recipe entered in the contest for banana recipes. At this point I don’t know which of the entries will win, but this is a winner in my humble opinion.
I love the introduction of a fresh orange, including the pulp and zest. It adds a moistness to the loaf. The coconut is a fun addition. Buttermilk is a big part of the mix and the buttermilk glaze makes everything work together. This is a stellar recipe and I hope that Carrie does well in the contest. Keep checking on FOOD52 to see who wins.
Check out Carries recipe here. Note that she left out one ingredient; 1 teaspoon baking soda.
That sounds like it would be a wonderful treat!
It has been great for breakfast Penny
Sounds good!
You would like it Monique.
Sounds delish. 🙂
I like that she baked 2 – 4×6 loaves. I like to have something in the freezer to bring out in case of company. Also, I see in her comments she forgot the baking soda – so if anyone else bakes it be sure to read the comment section.
I thought to add that to my post after the link. Hope no one missed it. Thanks Madonna.
You can see how moist this is in your picture. A slice with a cup of tea would be wonderful in the afternoon.
Thanks, Penny!

It is a very moist bread Jane. Great anytime of day.
