This cake might seem complicated but is well worth the effort, and no electric mixer is required! Gather all the ingredients before you start to make the process easier.

A delicious nut-free vegan Hummingbird Cake fit for a celebration. I remembered fondly a moist and coconutty Hummingbird Cake layered with cream cheese frosting (hmmm) and I wondered if the pineapple and banana would help a vegan version be both moist and delicious - without the need for eggs or butter - and I was right (doesn't happen often.)

This was originally made with a large batch of leftover rice as a sweet Indian style sweet rice pudding. The leftovers from that first pudding were then eaten like a porridge for breakfast. Everyone agreed it made a wonderful breakfast - but could do with less sugar. The recipe was refined and the Rice Puddidge was born.

These muffins are amazing. And so easy you can whip them up in less than 30 minutes.
