Hummingbird Cake is the most requested recipe in the magazine’s tradition, so we thought it would be fun to make a version of our own using our Cinnamon Pecan Cookies. And we have lots of torn-out recipes from Southern Living over the years. Southern Living has always been an inspiration - I grew up reading my mother's copies before getting a subscription of my own. The first known recipe for Hummingbird cake was published in Southern Living in 1978 by Mrs. Hummingbird Cake sounded like the perfect way to use our Cinnamon Pecan Cookies in a sweet, new way.Įven though it was invented in Jamaica, Hummingbird Cake has been a southern holiday staple since the 70’s.

One of my favorite Christmas traditions when I was growing up was unloading our overstuffed stockings.
