Hummingbird Cake is said by the fine folks at Southern Living Magazine to be their most requested recipe of all time.  Which puts this banana-and-pineapple-loaded cake in the category of "amazing desserts," for sure!

Which is exactly why I chose it as my recipe to share when I teamed up this month with a group of six of my blogging friends for an AMAZING Desserts recipe challenge.  

A most-requested recipe seemed quite fitting for the challenge, indeed.  Be sure to scroll to the end of this post to see what other amazing desserts my blogging friends chose for the challenge!

When it came time to prepare my Hummingbird Cake for the challenge though, I made a few changes to the traditional form.

Hey all, summer is upon is!  Oh it's time to celebrate and enjoy all things summery!  Including all the tasty desserts that come along with this fabulous season.

I mean, can you imagine a summer without creamy no-bake favorites like Chocolate Eclair Dessert or classic Oreo icebox dessert?  Or rich-and-delicious homemade chocolate ice cream?

Or how about those tasty desserts like strawberry cobbler or blueberry crisp made with all of summer's delicious fresh fruits?  Oh yes, it just wouldn't be summer at all without these yummy homemade treats.

Seriously, what better way to celebrate all things summer than a delicious cake that screams of tropical island vacations? 

And there's one more favorite of mine that's just perfect for summer ~ this time, a cake.  A cool-and-creamy pineapple and coconut-filled icebox cake, that is.  That just so happens to bear the name of Hawaiian Dream Cake.
