Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position, but do not preheat oven.
- Generously butter pan and dust with flour, knocking out excess flour.
- Sift together sifted flour (3 cups) and salt into a bowl. Repeat sifting into another bowl (flour will have been sifted 3 times total).
- Beat together butter (2 sticks) and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes in a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment or 6 to 8 minutes with a handheld mixer. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add half of flour, then all of cream, then remaining flour, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down side of bowl, then beat at medium-high speed 5 minutes. Batter will become creamier and satiny.
- Spoon batter into pan and rap pan against work surface once or twice to eliminate air bubbles. Place pan in (cold) oven and turn oven temperature to 350°F. Bake until golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in middle of cake comes out with a few crumbs adhering, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Cool cake in pan on a rack 30 minutes. Run a thin knife around inner and outer edges of cake, then invert rack over pan and invert cake onto rack to cool completely.

This recipe appeared in Our local newspaper about 20 years ago. The recipe comes from an old lady who was a dear friend of Elvis. She made this cake for him every Christmas and on special occasions. She made the paper promise to keep her name anonymous for fear that people would deluge her Tupelo Mississippi home with requests by fans to make her cakes for them.

Tips:
- Use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Fresh eggs, butter, and whipping cream will give your pound cake the best flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the batter, making your cake lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the batter, mixing until just combined. Overmixing will toughen the cake.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake the cake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the cake from breaking.
- Dust the cake with powdered sugar or drizzle it with glaze before serving. This will add a touch of sweetness and elegance to your dessert.
Conclusion:
Elvis Presley's Favorite Whipping Cream Pound Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy texture and rich flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
