The great cake challenge has officially begun! I was set the challenge by my lovely husband Edd and consists of well, baking! Every week (or as often as possible) I am to trial a new recipe or a new and interesting cake decoration. Like many of you I have my tried and tested cake recipes that never fail and so have little need to change. However, despite their deliciousness it's time to try the new, if only for the excuse of eating cake! The first challenge cake was a Hummingbird cake from the fantastical Hummingbird Bakery Cook Book (my favourite!). Yum Yum is all I can say! The Hummingbird Cake is similar to a carrot cake in consistency but instead of carrot it is packed with pineapple, bananas and pecan nuts. It really is a fantastic combination. And to make it even better the whole thing is sandwiched and covered with a delicious cream cheese frosting. It was even a triple layered cake so had even more yummy frosting. It works really well as a nice desert style cake and was definately a favourite with my family. I have to say I am definately converted on this one and it is certainly a new cake that I will be adding to my staple recipes!
Apologies about the lack of photo. I appear to have just deleted it from my camera! I will just have to bake it again instead!
