    Hi Jenna, you are the best, I have changed my recipes from before for yours, they are excellent, but the greatest success I have had, with chocolate cupcakes, and lemon curds in my cakes. The only thing that has not worked for me are the macaroons, but that's before. I thank you for sharing your recipes. Greetings from New Jersey.

    Re pineapple eating trick, Emmymadeinjapan , (her channel name) did a whole video on that pineapple trick. I recommend watching it she does a great job at proving it, showing the “cooking show magic version”, and theorizes how to make it work better.

    Great video Jemma! So exciting to hear that you’ll be having a meet and greet unfortunately Im not from London. I actually arranged to fly all the way to London from Singapore for my honeymoon just so that I could visit the shop and hopefully meet you in person. YEAH!!!!

    This looks amazing. For your Tuesday tips could you do a chocolate tempering one maybe please? I noticed a while ago (around Xmas I think it was) you had some moulded chocolates on a cake etc.
    Thanks again for all your lovely recipes. I’ve not only made many but so have my daughter and her friend now too! x

    • @laurav9843
      @laurav9843 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @cakemartduisburg4626
      @cakemartduisburg4626 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      you guys can roughly temper your chocolate by only melting two thirds of your total amount and then adding the last third. that is going to leave it nice and shiny and with a nice crack to it after fully drying :)

    I love this recipe! I've usually included carrot and coconut in the recipe and the cake is topped with an orange marmalade buttercream. I think I'm going try this version, as I think it will be favorited amongst more people.

    I do the same thing with my bananas 🍌, putting them in the freezer when super ripe. Always use mine for banana bread. My boys love my banana bread. 😁
    Ive never made a hummingbird cake but this looks quite delicious...can’t wait to try this cake. 😋
    Some of my friends tried the pineapple hack but didn’t work like all these videos we see!

    Thank you so much for the recipe.I have a pecan tree but unfortunately the parrots ate all the nuts on the tree and now I have to wait for the summer that it will grow again. The combination of banana, pineapple and pecan nuts seems to be a winning combination

  • @BakewithChinny
    @BakewithChinny 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I'm gonna try this recipe but for my own spin i will reduce the fresh pineapple blend to a concentrated fruit puree, this will eliminate most of the natural water in the pineapple as well as produce a more concentrated pineapple flavor. Also this will give room for the addition of milk for a more classic cake taste.
    Thanks for sharing.

    @lizzyg3487 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I made this once for my oldest daughter's birthday and really enjoyed it. I like looking for the oldest recipe I can find when trying new things so I know how it started before people start fussing and fixing the recipe. So I found an old magazine recipe, no picture, and for the topping it described (poorly) arranging the pecans in a hummingbird pattern.
    I had been hoping you'd do that so I could figure out what the heck it meant.
    I ended up doing pecans along the edge and a large letter in the center (first letter in DD's name).
