Brownie cupcake sounds good. I shall try one soon. I would this weekend, but I want to do one more fruity one while its still summer time and the fruit is good.

We do love the cupcakes out here.

this looks fantastic…I have the same recipe from a great little book called Cakewalk by Robin Gourley (which I recommend, by the way, if you can get your hands on it)–I’m going to do a side by side taste test.

These were yummy! drizzled some caramel on top of the frosting.

Also, I used some unbleached parchment cupcake papers that someone gave me. The cakes slipped right out of the papers. Unless you want paperless cupcakes, I would not recommend them.

I just though I’d point out that the eggs in this recipe aren’t really necessary due to the banana which acts as a binder. It just made it very vegan friendly. Thank you!

I like to put a little chopped mango and some fresh pineapple bits on top of the cream cheese frosting. When I make this into a 3 layer cake I put the chopped fruit in between each layer as well.

Chockylit, thanks for this recipe. My wife loves Hummingbird Cake and I made a batch of these for her birthday recently. She loved them.

I am not a nut person and wondered if you thought I could substitute golden raisins for the nuts?

thanks

Could you, perhaps, post the recipe for the cream cheese frosting? If not, quite alright.

I made these last week and they are sooooo good! I used the ‘Thick Cream Cheese Frosting’ from this site and they were fabulous. My husband, who refuse to eat cake, has requested these again very soon. Thanks for this recipe, and I love the website!!

Cheryl, you are such an inspiration. I used this recipe as my very first post. They tasted wonderful, only problem that I had was that they were a little dense?? Kinda like a muffin, I wonder if I did something wrong, or if they were supposed to taste like that? My husband and munchkins loved them regardless, so I guess it’s just me… I’m a little hard on my self!

I sent this recipe to my dad to make for my birthday, and I must say that they were FABULOUS!!! I bet that if you didn’t frost them, you would have really good breakfast muffins, too. Thanks for the great recipe!

Hi, I’ve been wanting to start my very own cupcake bakery mini production, and so I have began trying different recipes for both cupcakes and frosting. I tried these Hummingbird cupcakes and they came out more like muffins. Is that about right, cause I was just wondering if I cooked them too long, or what happened? I also had a question about the batter. It was very very dry when I made it, so I splashed in some milk. I’m not sure if that affected the final product or by how much. Thanks so much. Your cupcakes are so beautiful and inspiring! Oh and if you have any suggestions concerning a small cupcake business that’d be great!

So, I didn’t have any oil… I used apple sauce instead, and it worked fantastically! Also made it lower in fat… but yeah. Applesauce works for oil in a bind. They’re delicious! :)

Thank you for the recipe - I made it this weekend and am totally sold on it! (I also wrote it up on my blog)
I found your site recently through Tastespotting and am thoroughly enjoying it. The photos and recipes are very inspirational and I’m looking forward to trying out some of the other recipes. :-)
