Hummingbird Cake by Jamie Oliver and Andy Chef

The famous juicy and very fragrant cake! Both for the holiday and for yourself! This cake mercilessly captures the minds and stomachs of everyone who baked it or tasted it (or both). The cakes smell like pineapples and bananas and are positively loaded with fruity, tropical notes. Well, and cream... cream cheese has long taken a leadership position, this is no secret. Although, sour cream with thick, weighed sour cream is also perfect for this cake. It turns out no worse, but a little more economical.
