Hi, no it’s not a Hummingbird Cake. They have similar spices and pineapple but a Hummingbird Cake doesn’t have carrot but it does have banana. Both delicious though, thank you for visiting.
Great question and thank you for commenting. I have not experimented with different quantities of sugar in this recipe, however, I would suggest decreasing the sugar by 1/2 cup and replace it with unsweetened applesauce. I’d love to hear how you make out with any modification.
Hi, I drain the pineapple quite well in this recipe, so I believe cutting the amount of pineapple in half won’t change much. Not sure if it’s pineapple u don’t want in the cake or u simply just want walnuts. If it’s the latter, I’d just go ahead and add a half cup or so of the nuts, along with the original amount of pineapple. Hope this helps and thank u for commenting. Let me know how u make out.
Hi Patricia, I have not tested this recipe with a sugar substitute. I can only suggest to sub out half the sugar for unsweetened applesauce, which still has sugar but natural vs refined. It needs some sugar to maintain its texture. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Yes you sure can. There’s only a couple of tablespoons to aid in the baking soda reaction and provide extra moisture. All though the lemon juice is more tart, it will do the same job. Hope you enjoy this wonderful cake.

Just made this cake. Thank you so much for this recipe. It smells divine. I have a fan oven and set it to175C. It took exactly 45 minutes. It’s going to be a favourite in here. The family are all over for dinner and queuing up to taste it. Happy days.

Hummingbird Cake
Hi, no it’s not a Hummingbird Cake. They have similar spices and pineapple but a Hummingbird Cake doesn’t have carrot but it does have banana. Both delicious though, thank you for visiting.
Excellent recipe without using a mixer. A question can I reduce the amount of sugar?
Great question and thank you for commenting. I have not experimented with different quantities of sugar in this recipe, however, I would suggest decreasing the sugar by 1/2 cup and replace it with unsweetened applesauce. I’d love to hear how you make out with any modification.
That looks amazing. I have a question though. Would there be much change in liquid added if I cut the amount of pineapple in half and added walnuts?
Hi, I drain the pineapple quite well in this recipe, so I believe cutting the amount of pineapple in half won’t change much. Not sure if it’s pineapple u don’t want in the cake or u simply just want walnuts. If it’s the latter, I’d just go ahead and add a half cup or so of the nuts, along with the original amount of pineapple. Hope this helps and thank u for commenting. Let me know how u make out.
Thank you! I was curious if you could add nuts without changing anything. ❤ It looks amazing!
Hello is there anyway I can substitute the suger I have predibites,my suger spikes very easy thanks for the recipe greetings from Dublin Patricia 🇮🇪
Hi Patricia, I have not tested this recipe with a sugar substitute. I can only suggest to sub out half the sugar for unsweetened applesauce, which still has sugar but natural vs refined. It needs some sugar to maintain its texture. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I use erythritol as a sugar substitute, alongside 1/4 cup brown sugar or you can just do all erythritol.
Thank you for the suggestion 👍🏻 the brown sugar would give a nice flavour too.
Can I use lemon juice instead of orange juice?
Yes you sure can. There’s only a couple of tablespoons to aid in the baking soda reaction and provide extra moisture. All though the lemon juice is more tart, it will do the same job. Hope you enjoy this wonderful cake.
Thank you so much. I'll try it out. 😊
No recipe like u said 😭
