I also don't think that I did this Hummingbird Cake any favors by photographing a leftover piece that had traveled to work, then home again.<BR/><BR/>It is a remarkably moist cake. I'm kind of tempted to try a side-by-side comparison of this recipe vs. one made with oil as the fat.<BR/><BR/><< (Or do I consume to much before it is needed on the cake? -ha-) >><BR/><BR/>Of course, one must sample as one works to make sure that the recipe is working out properly, right?

I'm thinking about how one can attract hummingbirds with a simple mix of sugar water. Also some of the names given to other foods by southerners are as descriptive, such as "Shoo Fly Pie". Just a guess though.<BR/><BR/>When I make a cake, I never have enough icing to put on as thickly as your cakes wear it. Do you double the icing batch?
