This cake that I bring you today is my version of a very famous cake making in the Hummingbird Bakery in London, one of my favorites and I recommend to visit without fail on your next visit to London.

This beautiful cake is delicious, soft and spongy with banana and pineapple in abundance, crispy pieces of walnuts pecans is ideal for special occasions, to give to your loved ones, or simply for those moments that feel like a good piece of pie. This delicious tart Hummingbird (which is what means Hummingbird) will delight all.

It only takes a slightly special ingredient that is the all spice. In Spanish it is called Jamaica, sweet pepper or pepper Malagueta pepper and tastes like a mixture already made of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and nails. If you cannot find it, you can make a mixture with these spices and flavor will be very similar.

It's very funny because the Malagueta pepper is which gives its name to my neighborhood in Malaga, La Malagueta. And it is that in times of the Arabs, the whole area was planted of malagueta pepper, and hence the district took its name. It is a very nice story that hardly anyone knows. Told it me very little and that today I wanted to share it with you.
