Hummingbird cake with cream cheese frosting – recipe

I met this super nice couple from the United states this summer. They were here in Iceland to get married so we talked cake 😉 They told me that they were planing on a wedding cake with three different flavors, one of them being Hummingbird cake which I (shamefully) had never heard of. My understanding is that the recipe for the cake originally came from Jamaica and later on traveled to the United states and got quite popular in the south.
The cake it self is packed with bananas, pineapple and nuts (pecans or walnuts) and infused with vanilla and cinnamon. It is super moist and loves to be covered in delicious cream cheese frosting. Yummy! Continue reading →

I would like to share with you my go-to recipe for the most delicious yet oh so simple chocolate cake.

This one has never failed me. Never ever. It´s an “all in one bowl” kind of recipe which means that you put all the ingredients in one bowl and just mix until ready – for the oven that is, don’t eat it raw 😉
If all I want to do is “throw” a chocolate cake in the oven and I just can’t be bothered with a “first mix this and then this in a separate bowl ….” kind of recipe then this is my go to recipe. But that said, I also use this one for wedding cakes and birthday cakes. I guess I use it more or less for everything except maybe cupcakes, it’s maybe not firm enough for that. Continue reading →
