It’s one of those cakes that you can eat for breakfast or dessert, and I am fully onboard with that idea. I didn’t invent this one. It’s apparently been around for ages. I got the recipe in one of my mom’s old-timey compilation recipe books… Aren’t those cookbooks the best? Looking at everyone’s old recipes and the strange names they gave them… But after doing a little research I found that Dr. Birds are another name for Hummingbirds. So essentially this is a Hummingbird Cake. I tweaked the recipe ever so slightly and then made it in a 9×13 pan. Cakes made in 9×13 pans always seem easier to me. Like a perfect weeknight or Sunday dessert. Right? Anyhow, this cake has banana… And also some crushed pineapple. Yep, it’s good. I whisked my dry ingredients together… And combined them with the wet ones to make a batter. After I baked it it looked like this… You could certainly stop there. Or you could dust it with powdered sugar. OR you could whip up some cream cheese frosting… But I decided to make a butter glaze frosting. Because I love a frosting that gets all crusty when it sets. Seriously, look how good… Such a classic and yummy recipe! Here’s another strangely named dessert, that is to-die for!
