Birdie Cake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Mix cake ingredients together and pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes
• 2. Blend all ingredients for icing together and ice cake when it cools

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the eggs, oil, bananas and pineapple. Mix well and pour into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 70 to 80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (180°C) and grease and line the base of a 9½ inch round cake tin. (If making a double-layered cake, use 2 tins and double the quantity of cake mixture and frosting).
• Put the nuts and pineapple in a blender or food processor and pulse briefly until finely chopped.
• Sift all the dry ingredients, up to and including the salt, into a mixing bowl, then stir until combined and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, add the bananas, coconut oil or butter, reserved pineapple juice, vanilla, vinegar, and egg, if using. Whisk until combined, then add to the dry ingredients with the pecan and pineapple mix. Briefly stir until combined, but do not over-mix the cake batter.
• Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and level the top. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool for 5 minutes, then turn out of the tin onto a rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting. Beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. Add the salt and vanilla, then stir in the icing sugar, a little at a time, to make a thick, spreadable icing. Spread the frosting over the top of the cake (or half over each cake if making 2). Sprinkle with the coconut flakes and pecans.

Steps:

• In a large pan start melting the fat.
• When almost melted, take off the heat, add the rest of the listed ingredients and mix well.
• Let the mix cool enough for the seeds to be evenly distributed and not sink to the bottom.
• Fill your molds, cool until set and un-mold.
• IMPORTANT: Do not use old and used fat from your deep fryer because that is not good for the birds.
