[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this is what you mean but people come to blows over whether there should be coconut in carrot cake[/quote]

I love a tropical carrot cake with pineapple and coconut. But not everyone does.[/quote]

Is that a hummingbird cake[/quote]

I'm the Cake Lady (baking through the list of Southern Living cakes) - and many of the cakes include coconut. German Chocolate Cake, Coconut Cake (of course), Japanese fruitcake all do, but not the Hummingbird

Online searches say classic hummingbird cakes do contain coconut. Just one example out of many

I would trust Southern Living over other sources on this, given that they are the ones who first published the recipe as far as can be documented, and it is their marquis recipe (as in, most popular they've ever published).

The recipe linked here references the Doctor Bird Cake, which as stated is also a banana cake, and does include coconut, and may in fact be what the Hummingbird Cake evolved from, but is still a cake in its own right. [/quote]
