Ingredients
  

For the bread

  • 115 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 315 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup mashed bananas
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

For the frosting

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 splash vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the crushed pineapple, mashed bananas, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting

  • For the cream cheese frosting, beat together 8 oz of cream cheese with 1/2 cup of unsalted butter until smooth.
  • Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla extract until creamy.
  • Once the bread is cooled, frost with the cream cheese frosting before serving.

Notes

Hummingbird Bread is best served at room temperature. You can slice it as is or serve it with a cup of coffee or tea. For a special touch, consider adding fresh fruits on the side and garnishing with an extra sprinkle of shredded coconut. Store tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or an airtight container.
