It suits the taste of both young and old in our family. I put a little sign next to mine at a family potluck "Hummingbird Cake". I observed a few took it with traditional dinner fare and came back for a second at desert time. My Mom made this in the late 60s and it was much loved by all. Now another generation is enjoying it. Thank you. Gerrie Rick,

She gave me the recipe, but we both have since lost it. Thanks for posting it for me--I promise to share it, as well. Thank you, again.

You can try it with cake flour, but it may be crumbly... Hi, Rochelle–

I can't wait to make this for Easter! Thank you!
