IT'S CALLED HUMMINGBIRD Cake, but no hummingbirds were harmed in the making. The recipe originates in the Southeastern United States and contains bananas and pineapple, which I suppose connects it to those tropical birds. This one came out of Chef Robbie's kitchen. I told him he had to stop "forcing" us to eat his goodies every morning at coffee. These are some of the things I enjoyed before I told him. In the hummingbird cake, Chef Robbie replaced the usual walnuts with almonds simply because San Geraldo doesn't like walnuts. So we had to eat it. Chef Robbie is a corrupting influence.
SE LLAMA TARTA de Colibrí, pero no se dañó ningún colibrí en la fabricación. La receta se origina en el sudeste de Estados Unidos y contiene plátanos y piña, que supongo que la conecta con esas aves tropicales. Esta vino de la cocina del Chef Robbie. Le dije que tenía que dejar de "obligarnos" a comer sus dulces cada mañana en el café. Estas son algunas de las cosas que disfruté antes de decirle. En la tarta de colibrí, Chef Robbie sustituyó las nueces por almendras simplemente porque a San Geraldo no le gustan las nueces. Así que tuvimos que comerla. Chef Robbie es un influencia corruptora.

I'm not usually to big on pineapple in cakes...too sweet for me, but that looks so good, I'd try it...along with the others. These goes the jeans again.......

DeleteThe hummingbird cake was definitely sweet, but so delicious. Remember, stretch jeans!
I think out of all the desserts pictured I'd go for the apples & cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteHad that yesterday morning. Phenomenal!
We should all have a Chef Robbie in our lives!
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteI agree!
Ok, now I have to do a dessert post. It's the law.
ReplyDeletePlease do, Walt!

Walt the Fourth:
DeleteYes. AND send a care package.
Judy:
DeleteI WOULD mail you samples but they won't keep.
Are there no calories in desserts concocted by chefs in España? I swear, I'd be 350lbs if I ate everything you've posted over the last several years. I put on weight just look at the photos.
ReplyDeleteFrank:
DeleteAccording to Robbie, these are ALL fruit servings.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a line at Chef Robbie's door!!
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteBusiness is certainly better when he's baking.
Damn, Mitchell, you're killing me! I have a possibly fatal case of dessert envy. The only cure is for me get busy in the kitchen. Off I go . . . .
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteAnd to think Robbie FORCES me to eat these things.
Another episode of "straight from the mouth to the ass" in my case anyway. You don't seem to have that problem so enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCheapchick:
DeleteExercise, LONG brisk walks, and a decent metabolism.
Apples and cinnamon.....wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLinda deV:
DeleteTHAT was even more delicious than it looked.
All of those mouth watering dishes - such a terrible punishment for you pair !
ReplyDeleteHeron:
DeleteI know. Oh, how we suffer.
Chef Robbie is a menace and must be stopped!
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteWell, it IS all his fault but I don't think it would be kind to stop him. Ah well.
Will you stop this. I am on weight watchers!
ReplyDeleteJohn:
DeleteAnd you're doing very well!
Can I live next door to this guy?
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteCan you imagine?!?
Can I clean his kitchen pots and pans!?
ReplyDeleteRon:
DeleteI'm sure he'd love it.
Actually I am disappointed to discover there are no hummingbird ingredients.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of them flitting about the place; putting them into a cake or stew or pie sounds reasonable to try.
