Hummingbird Poke Cake | The perfect potluck cake! Full of pecan, pineapple and banana flavor. It is said that the reason this cake is called Hummingbird is because when your guests take their first bite you will hear a soft hummmm as a result of just how incredible this cake tastes.
This semi homemade cake is not on the sweet side with a layer of pecan cake, banana pudding and frozen whipped topping. I am confident this cake will become your go to recipe to take to family gatherings, potlucks and barbecues. You can also take one of my families favorites….FRESH BROCCOLI SALAD.
