Paleo Hummingbird Cake

Posted on Nov 11 2015 - 6:31pm by Marianne

Nothing says healthy Paleo treat like my Paleo Hummingbird Cake! Beautiful smells from the banana and pineapple with a lovely moist texture. Most importantly NO REFINED SUGAR just natural fruit sweetness. 

This cake was modified from a recipe a dear friend gave to me, it’s known for its super simple one bowl mix, tho I did use one bowl and then poured the batter into a spring form pan.

  6. Pour into the pan and bake for 40 minutes or an extra 5mins if needed. It's quite moist.
Notes
  1. *Make sure you find a tin of pineapple chunks with no added sugar. Chunks work well for the sweetness.
  2. If you feel you really need to add sugar just add 2 tbls honey. Really if your bananas are ripe and you use beautiful natural pineapple chunks you won't need it!
