Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and grease a cake pan

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon

Add oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined

Fold in mashed bananas, crushed pineapple, and chopped pecans

Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean

Let the cake cool completely, then crumble it into fine crumbs in a large bowl

Mix in cream cheese frosting until the mixture is moist enough to roll into cake balls

Shape the mixture into cake balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray

Insert cake pop sticks into each ball and freeze for 1-2 hours

Melt white chocolate or candy melts according to package instructions

Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage

Allow the coating to set, and your Hummingbird Cake Pops are ready to enjoy!
