Jamie Oliver makes a delicious Hummingbird cake, a fruity American sponge with pineapple, banana and cinnamon on Jamie’s Comfort Foods.

Jamie says: “This a light fluffy sponge with banana and pineapple galore, a crunchy dusting of pecan brittle, and a little reminder that zesty cream cheese icings rock – it’s near perfection.”

The ingredients are: 250 ml olive oil, plus extra for greasing, 350 g self-raising flour, 1 level teaspoon ground cinnamon, 350 g golden caster sugar, 4 medium-sized very ripe bananas, 1 x 425 g tin of pineapple chunks, 2 large free-range eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 50 g pecans.

For the icing: 400 g icing sugar, 150 g unsalted butter, (at room temperature), 200 g cream cheese and 2 limes.

For the brittle: 100 g caster sugar and 50 g pecans.
