Best 8 Fat Elvis Cake Recipes

ELVIS PRESLEY CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare cake mix according to package directions and bake in a 9 x 13 baking pan. Once cooked, remove cake from oven and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes while you heat the crushed pineapple along with the juice and the sugar on top of the stove just until sugar is melted. I bring mine to a slow boil and then remove from stove.
• Punch holes in the cake with a fork and spread the pineapple over the cake along with the juice. Using a mixer combine butter, cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar to make frosting. Very gently spread over entire cake. It doesn't matter if some of the pineapple shows through the frosting. Sprinkle on chopped pecans.

FRIED ELVIS BANANA ON A STICK

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches vegetable oil to 370 degrees F in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered but the bacon is still pliable (don't get it too crisp), 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Let cool.
• Spread one side of each bacon slice with peanut butter. Wrap each slice around a banana piece, peanut butter-side facing the banana, pressing to adhere.
• Spread some cake flour in a shallow bowl for dredging. Whisk the cake flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the seltzer, taking care not to overmix (a few small lumps are fine).
• Dredge half of the bananas in the flour, then dip in the batter and carefully add to the hot oil. Fry in 2 batches until crisp and golden brown, flipping halfway through, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and repeat with the remaining bananas. Insert skewers into the bananas. Drizzle with honey and serve immediately.

ELVIS PRESLEY POKE CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Bake a white cake according to package directions in 9" x 13" prepared baking pan. We really like Duncan Hines brand but any white cake mix brand will work. Cool and poke holes in it. I've always used the end of a wooden spoon to poke the holes. Poke as many holes as you like but make sure they are spaced out across the top of the cake.
• 2. In a small saucepan, boil crushed pineapple with juice, 1 cup white sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for a few minutes. Then pour over cooled cake. This will fill up the holes that you've poked in the cake.
• 3. In large bowl mix cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and pecans. Mix thoroughly and spread evenly across the top of the cake.
• 4. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours before serving. Refrigerate overnight to give the cake the best flavor.
• 5. Refrigerate any leftovers. Can be served cold from the fridge or heated for a few seconds in the microwave.
