Ready to take a vacation? Transport yourself to the beach with every slice of this hummingbird bundt cake recipe! This vibrantly flavored cake boasts a moist crumb filled with pineapple, banana and pecans, all coated in warm spice aroma. The origins of hummingbird cake trace back to the 1970s in the South. The combination of sweet pineapple, ripe bananas and toasted pecans creates a nice textural contrast, while cinnamon and nutmeg feel like a warm hug. (Love pecans? Try our Lazy Pecan Pie in a Mug!) This cake makes the perfect dessert for afternoon tea parties, potlucks or whenever you need a burst of sunshine on your plate.
For a decadent experience, we serve this hummingbird bundt cake recipe with a drizzle of cream cheese frosting. But a scoop of vanilla ice cream works too. Tell us if you did this extra step below! And for more bundt cake recipes, try this Chocolate Pound Cake.

¾ tsp. ground nutmeg
½ cup cream cheese, softened
1½ cups confectioners’ sugar
1 Tbs. milk
