Here is how you make Hummingbird cake:

1. Preheat oven to 180C. Spray with oil spray and line a round 17cm cake tin or two 16cm fluted brioche tins.2. Sift flour, bicarbonate and cinnamon into a large bowl, add sugar and stir.3. Whisk flax eggs with oil and vanilla, then add to flour mixture and gently mix.4. Fold through pineapple, bananas and nuts. Pour into cake tin and bake for about 70 minutes (60 minutes for brioche tins) or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Remove from oven and cool.5. For icing #1, (currently in nutrition info): Rinse the cashews then soak them for 12 hours. Drain the cashews and add them to a food processor with the canola oil, first measure of soy milk, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, first measure of salt and xanthan or guar gum. Blend for several minutes until the mixture is smooth. Wrap the mixture in a cheesecloth and place it in a clean bowl. Let it sit in a lukewarm place for 12 hours. This allows the mixture to 'rest' and develop slightly more complex flavors. Remove the cheesecloth. Add the cashew mixture to a large mixing bowl and mix in the second serving of soy milk, vanilla extract and salt. Mix in half of the powdered sugar until smooth, then add the other half and mix until smooth. Frost the cake (when cool). You could sprinkle with coconut threads for a nice presentation, if desired.6. For icing #2 (not in nutrition calculation), beat cream cheese, margerine and icing sugar until creamy and smooth. Scoop out the pulp of the passionfruit and fold through icing. Spread over cake. Serving Size:?Makes a 17cm diameter cake (sliced into eighths).
