Hummingbird Cake

I love making this cake, simple reason that it is not difficult to make.
You just dump all the ingridients in a big bowl , give it a good mix , pour it to the cake tin and , there is a delicious cake ater a hour or so.

I love the frosting also and i was in a palyfull mood so i just added a bit food colour to the frosting.
This is a recipe from one of my favourite cake book.
It is full of easy cake and dessert recipes. It is a Australian Women's Weekley Cookbook called Sweet Old-fashoined Favourites.
I have made a lot of recipes from theis book and each time it was real good.

3 eggs lightly beaten
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup chopped peacan
1/2 cup undrained crushes pineapple in heavy syrup. ( I have never seen this here in the shops, so i just use tin pineapples and just slice them in small pieces)
2 cups mashed overripe bananas.

60 gm Ceam cheese
30 gm butter
