Tonight on Jamie’s Comfort Food, Jamie is baking something that will cause endless excitement among Americans, and complete bafflement for everyone else – the Hummingbird cake. The Hummingbird cake is a very unusual one. For a start, it’s made with oil rather than butter, and contains more fruit than flour.
For special occasions, to treat your loved ones, or purely for those moments when you just need a good slice of cake, this hummingbird beauty is guaranteed to hit the spot. ” Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
I have been keen to make this cake from Jamie Oliver’s great new book Comfort Food. It’s a special occasion cake and the special occasion it was made for, was the (early) birthday celebration for Katrina, friend and colleague, newly wed and faithful follower of this blog.
Hopefully you’re already thinking of the Caribbean, and it’s thought to have been invented in Jamaica, probably in the late ‘60s. Originally, it was called the “Doctor bird cake”, a nickname for a Jamaican variety of hummingbird called the Red-billed Streamertail.
