This Hummingbird Cake Is Perfect For Mother’s Day
My obsession with hummingbird cake goes way back. I love the banana and pineapple combination together, and that it’s topped with cream cheese icing makes it even better.

Hummingbird Bread With Cream Cheese Icing

Well, the special occasion is that the cold snap is over! Calgary had some pretty brutal temperatures (-35C), thankfully that has come to an end so I thought we should celebrate with a Hummingbird Loaf! The best part about this loaf, besides being incredibly moist, is the cream cheese icing with a touch of cinnamon on top! This makes it even more special. I hope everyone enjoys this recipe, and if you live in Calgary I hope you are…
