I'd much prefer to whip upwards a good-old canvass cake.  Which is just what I did here.  

Enter Hummingbird Sheet  Cake.  To me, a whole lot lower-fuss to brand than a layer cake.

And when it came to the frosting, instead of the typical cream cheese frosting, I went alongside Caramel  Cream Cheese Frosting for this item hummingbird cake.
