Here is how you make Art Smith's Hummingbird Cake:

CAKEPosition the racks in the centre and bottom third of the oven and preheat to 350F. Lightly butter two 9" round cake pans, sprinkle evenly with flour and tap out the excess. If you wish, butter the pans, line the bottoms with rounds of parchment paper, then flour the pans and tap out the excess..Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl. In another bowl, stir or whisk the bananas, pineapple, oil, eggs and vanilla until combined. DO NOT use an electric mixer. Pour into the dry mixture and fold together with a large spatula just until smooth. DO NOT beat. Fold in the pecans. Spread evenly into the pans..Bake until the cake springs back when pressed in the center - 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer the cakes to wire racks and cool for 10 minutes. Invert the cakes onto the racks, remove the parchment paper (if used), turn right side up and cool completely..ICINGUsing an electric mixer on high speed, beat the cream cheese and bitter until combined. On low speed, gradually beat in the sugar, then the vanilla, to make a smooth icing..Trim the top of the cakes for a smooth, even surface. Place 1 cake layer, on a serving platter, spread 2/3 cup of the icing. Top with the second layer (upside down) and spread the remaining icing over the cake top and sides. .The cake can be prepared up to 1 day in advance and stored, uncovered in the fridge..Let stand at room temperature before serving.Number of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user NADIATION.
