Elvis Presley Cake

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 box white cake mix
• Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (typically eggs, oil, and water)
• 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple (with juice)

For the Frosting:

• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3-4 cups powdered sugar (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (for topping)
• Whole pecans (for decoration)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake:
• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
• Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions.

• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake according to the package instructions, typically 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• While the cake is still hot, poke holes all over the top with a fork or skewer. Pour the crushed pineapple with its juice evenly over the hot cake. Allow it to cool completely.
2. Make the Frosting:

• In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
• Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition until you reach your desired consistency and sweetness.
• Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Assemble the Cake:
• Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
• Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the frosting.
• Decorate with whole pecans as desired.
4. Chill and Serve:
• Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the frosting to set.

Enjoy your delicious Elvis Presley Cake!
