Hummingbird Cupcakes
These Hummingbird Cupcakes are light and fluffy with tropical flavors, a luscious cream cheese frosting and toasted pecans. They’re a cross between banana and carrot cake and make a great spring and summer dessert. The cake batter comes together with just two bowls and whisk, and they can be made entirely in advance. They are an impressive spring and summer dessert that’s so easy to make!

Instructions
