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.

Notes
- *Make sure you find a tin of pineapple chunks with no added sugar. Chunks work well for the sweetness.
- 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!
