I can't tell you how many times I've said "I'm going to make ______" and then John posts the recipe. I'm making this for Easter.

So am I!!!😂❤️

As a Jamaican I am extremely happy and I will definitely be trying this cake!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Made this cake today. I didn't use pecans since I didn't have any. Didn't have crushed pineapple either so I used fruit cocktail in light syrup instead. What a cake. Absolutely scrumptious. Light and moist inside. Thank you!

I would have to leave out the pecans. I'm glad to hear it is still lovely without them.

I LOVE PREPPY KITCHEN

As a jamaican, I can confirm that we do call them doctor birds. 🇯🇲 Thank you for this recipe and I can hardly wait to go shopping on the weekend for cream cheese and pecans. Need to try this! 😋

I'm Jamaican and i never knew about this cake, thanks for sharing, i will try it one day.

You need the clay discs that go in your brown sugar. You'll never have another lump. It is just magical.

I use marshmallows too…..I make my own brown sugar (so easy) and it’s always, always super soft with no lumps 👍🏻

Fi real? A years mi know bout it. Used to get it at a place in Mandeville but mi neva try bake it yet.

As a Jamaican this is my favorite cake 🎂 ❤

😊Come to 🇯🇲 Jamaica my beautiful home😊 thanks for this John it's a sweet treat in my home, it's actually great with or without the frosting. Love n blessings from Jamaica❤❤

i love that he pronounces "pecans" correctly to my north Mississippi ears. THe cake looks divine and I think I just learned about my next kitchen project!!!

I would make this, but my partner requested a homemade lemon meringue pie for Easter dinner. I always made that for my father’s birthday and wish I could send one to Heaven for him…. I love your videos and have your new cookbook preordered on Amazon!!

John watching your videos are a bright spot in my day ❤😊

I love that cake. I took the idea and added coconut and layered shaved chocolate in the middle of the cake layers. I called it a tropical dream cake. It's so good. But how could it not be. I used yogurt in it as a milk product to add what yogurt adds 😁 which is a tender crumb. I'm a cookie and ice cream girl but this cake and a few others are to die for.

John, u know I gotta make this right😊Once I heard humming bird, I was like Jamaica of course. Biggest n baddess baker on KZread. Whole lot of love coming from Jam down 🇯🇲💜

I love Hummingbird Cake! The recipe I’ve always used, very much like yours, said it was a southern classic. Now I know why everyone from the south that I ask about it doesn’t know what I’m talking about.😬

Oh boy, that looks absolutely scrumptious!!

Un grand chef je vous admire ❤

I'm making this cake for the first time ever for Easter this weekend. Thank you for this insanely helpful video!!

I really love your recipes I never go wrong with them ... Thank you so much

Never heard of this cake but it sounds delicious and I'm totally baking it for Easter!

This is my very favorite cake and I've been making it for many years. I do everything in one bowl lol, because I hate extra dishes. I do mine differently, as many do, but the outcome is always fabulous and everyone's favorite desert. Thanks John, you're the best ❤

Great for Spring

Made this a few weeks ago. Wonderful recipe! Came out amazing!

That cake looks absolutely delicious 😋. Thanks John.

You KILL It my friend many many thanks be bless with your family much appreciate what you do

This is my favorite cake to make for the holidays

The way you describe things is so inspiring, always makes me hungry. Love your cake recipes

I love all your recipes, thank you so much ❤

This recipe is THE BEST!!! You won't regret making this, it was a hit on Easter.

I'm making the Hummingbird ake for Easter. Thanks for recipe.

I love the acknowledgement of going to "the bad place" when making cakes. So often they're delicious but not looking as nice as we envision and that's okay. ❤❤

This cake reminds me of my childhood. My mom made this cake and when I got older I would help her make it, along with a Lane Cake. Awesome video.

My kids love this cake!

you're oven knobs and kitchen is such a cool vibe!

John, you should try freezing your bananas. Keep the peel on. Freeze for a few months, thaw and squeeze out the fruit and as much juice as you can. The juice is almost like liquor. I do that for all my banana breads.

@theangel5416

You freeze the old bananas right?

That looks so yummy. I've never heard of a hummingbird cake

Just pulled this out of the oven. I made 24 cupcakes and 2- 3/4th cup small cakes. They're adorable. Can't wait to frost everything tomorrow morning. Well, now there's 23 cupcakes. 😅

I would love this so much.

I’ve made several of his recipes before, and they were delicious! I can’t wait to make this cake!

i am currently on a mission to try out every single recipes of yours since your recipes are the only ones that work out well for me, I am a self taught baker and so far none of your recipes have EVERRRRR failed me. LOVE YOUR WORK

That looks delicious. Always appreciate your efforts in giving us the recipe and origin story of your baked goods.

O M G! I just made this but did cupcakes (it made 24 plus three 4 inch cake layers) and they are absolutely divine! I have never had or made a hummingbird anything until today and this is out of the ball park delicious 😋

Looks SO delicious! Thanks for the video!

I have twins just a bit younger than yours and discovered your channel while looking for smash cake recipes a few years ago. Such serendipity! And, as our lives are also increasingly busy, I was thrilled when I saw your new cookbook! Preordered instantly! From one twin parent to another, thank you for all you do!

Love your tried, true & explicit tasty tips which create the super best VOILA! creation presentation!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

My favorite cake! 😊

There is no other chefs recipes I trust more than yours every single time I follow your recipe the food comes out AMAZING! Would you ever want to do a healthy recipe book because I’m sure the food will taste impeccable. If there is anyone that can make salad and eating greens taste good it will be you! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

I made your original recipe for Easter several times, I’m excited to make this one!

This looks so decadent! Love it….

Thank you so much for this recipe. I made this today, I think it is my new favorite cake. It is soooo good! Turned out perfect for our gathering today.

Well, I’ve been waiting. Welcome to the south and thank you! Nicely done, including blue laser cookbook effects!

I love your recipes. They are delicious and dependable. ❤

You're amazing! I found you this morning and I've literally been watching your videos all day. I made your brownies, topped with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream...OMG yum! I love this cake. Delish!!! Thanks so much ❤

It's always a love your videos especially this one wish you and your family well

Hi John I just bought your first recipe book and I’m loving it!!❤

This is perfect for an Easter dessert. Love this cake. I am also making a yam pie instead of using pumpkin. It uses so less sugar due to their sweetness. Same spices and other ingredients as you would for pumpkin pie.

Thank you chef!

You made this look so easy to make and fun🎉 going to give this a try. ❤

Beautiful cake Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi John, I love all your scrumptious recipes. I have tried quite a few and they come out great every time. There are many different kinds of hummingbirds one of them is a doctor bird which can only be found in Jamaica and it is also the Jamaican national bird. One Love ❤🎉

This is my husband's new fav! I replaced 1 teaspoon of vanilla with 1 teaspoon of maple flavoring and also added one-third cup shredded, sweetened coconut. Love it! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I love this cake it's delicious 😋😋

I can really taste the hummingbird. 😋

Yummm, this cake looks delicious!

Thank you for the video!

Yummmmmm I’m def going to be making this 🌻🌻🌻

Yummy, looks delicious

That cake looks so good!!!!! Cream cheese is my favorite icing ever!!! I can eat it alone🤣🤣

tried and lovedthank y

I’ve made this cake before and it’s delicious! 😋❤

I have been searching for the Doctor Bird Cake my mom used to make for years. Watching your video, I thought this sounds just like it. Then you mentioned it's also called Doctor bird. The only thing different is mom used to put a few chopped maraschino cherries in the cake. She may have made it in a Bundt pan and poured a glaze over top. Either way I'm very excited To have this recipe. Thank you

Can’t wait to bake this one! 😛

I’ve made this cake it tastes amazing.

Ok I was supposed to make peach cobbler for Easter dinner buuuuuuuut now I'm going to make this Saturday night in addition to the cobbler I'm making the next day. I want to do the pineapple flowers too. BEAUTIFULLY done John! 🍍🍌🎂🥜😋😋😋😋❤🤎💛

I've made quite a few of your recipes and they come out perfectly, when I follow directions! Lol I have your first book and have ordered your second,for delivery in August. I can't wait to see what you've come up with in your second book!

I love your videos thanks so much

Delicious ❤

Wowwww so yummy 👌

I have been looking for a great recipe that is consistent, and when I saw you're posting this one, I knew finally I'll be able to make one that works every time! BTW, I agree with you on bananas, for eating a bit under ripe is best.
