That sounds so yummy! I made a southern tradition one year for a Christmas dessert and it disappeared like that! It was a Hummingbird Cake and it was delicious.
Ooh, I used to make Hummingbird Cakes. The recipe is in an old Southern Living cookbook. Sorry, I have no idea if it can be found online but it’s yummy.
-— Wait, this link says it’s the most requested Southern Living recipe so hopefully this is the real deal. It sounds like what I remember:

you just know that some goof is going to inquire as to the number of hummingbirds it takes to make a cake. I won't ask that, I'd just like to know how you catch them????
