This Elvis Presley Cake starts with a boxed cake mix and topped with an amazing pineapple glaze and the most delicious homemade frosting!
THE BEST ELVIS PRESLEY CAKE
I have such a fun recipe to share with y’all today! Seriously, you are gonna fall in love with this cake. I’ll be honest, I have no clue how it got its name. You always hear that Elvis Presley loved his peanut butter and banana sandwiches but this definitely doesn’t have those flavors. However, it was rumored that he loved pineapple cakes! this recipe definitely fits that bill!
VIDEO INCLUDED BELOW:
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS PINEAPPLE GLAZED CAKE:
- To really enhance the pineapple flavors, you can use a pineapple cake mix.
- The pecans are optional in the frosting. Or, feel free to switch it up with walnuts. Pecans are very southern so we think that was only fitting for Elvis.
- I haven’t tried making this as a layer cake yet. Once the cake gets saturated with the pineapple glaze, it becomes very moist and therefore doesn’t always lend itself for layering. If you try it, please let me know!
- Be sure to look for crushed pineapple in 100% juice, not syrup. The syrup kind is thick and is super sweet.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
yellow cake mix
(ingredients needed to make cake; eggs, oil and water)
crushed pineapple in juice (not heavy syrup)
sugar
cream cheese
unsalted butter
powdered sugar
chopped pecans
HOW TO MAKE THIS DELICIOUS ELVIS PRESLEY CAKE:
Prepare yellow cake mix according to package directions for a 9×13 baking pan. While cake is baking, stir together the pineapple and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved (about 2-3 minutes.) Remove from heat and wait for cake to finish baking.
Once the cake is finished baking, while still hot, poke holes all over the top with a fork.
Pour the warm pineapple mixture over the cake.
Spread out the pineapple mixture so it evenly covers the cake. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Once cake is cooled, it’s time to start the frosting! In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter (using an electric or stand mixer) on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add in the confectioner’s sugar, beating until the frosting is smooth and creamy (remember, if using a stand mixer, to occasionally scrape down the sides.) Finally, stir in the chopped pecans (if using.) Drop the frosting by dollops onto the cake.
Smooth and spread it to coat. Cover and refrigerate the cake until fully chilled before serving.
The cake will keep for up to 5 days when stored, covered, in the fridge.
Enjoy!

My E-mail address for Patsy Sturgis Johns is cody@andycable.com I forgot to put it with my comments and entry pages.
I don't usually even bother to copy recipes that call for boxed cake mixes, but this one sounds too good to pass up; and since we live just north of Graceland, I feel duty bound to try this one. You are TOTALLY going to be my excuse–this time—for the fact that my NO GRAIN diet lasted a measly ONE DAY. (-: Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to Wal-Mart I go.
I love her first cookbook, and would love to have this one for even more wonderful recipes. Thanks for the chance to win!
I also pinned this recipe…
The recipe has been pinned….and I printed two copies–one for myself, and one for our preacher's wife (they are OBSESSED with all things Elvis.) While I do not NEED another book of any sort, I would be more than happy to welcome a copy of your cookbook into my already busting-at-the-seams family of cookbooks. When I die, there is going to be a major battle for who gets them. (-;
Always looking for more ideas to fix for my family! Loveee cookbooks!!!
I have a granddaughter that has taken after me for the love of cookbooks. We share them. She is 12 years old & is wanting to go to cooking school when she goes to college. This may change BUT she does love to try to recipes. I have found many different recipes on this site & really enjoy them. So I would love to win this book.

I would love to win this!! I collect cookbooks, I know that it is a stupid thing to colect, but I cannot stop!!
I cannot spell either…. I can spell Collect!! I also published to pinterest : http://www.pinterest.com/pin/140315344614034057/
It is not a stupid thing to collect. I have probably over 8,000 and I look at them and find new things all the time. I would rather read a cookbook than anything else. I love to try new thing and even try making up recipes from different recipes by adding or taking out ingredients. Keep collecting
I'm looking for cookbooks with simple down home recipes. Everytime I think I've found one it ends up using ingredients that a person doesn't normally keep on hand or they take hours to prepare completely.
I also pinned this to my "yummy" board! Can't wait to try it!~
I did pin the recipe!
I recently became a stay at home mom, so our income has decreased and I have started cooking more meals at home to offset this. I have a few cookbooks, but I am always looking for new recipes. Would love this cookbook to help diversify my menu at home. My email address is burger.amanda@yahoo.com and I've pinned the recipe as well 🙂
I would love to add this to my collection. I'm always looking for new meals to serve my family. I also follow Christy and just adore her!! cookjennifer76@gmail.com

Hi…my name is Pat and I love this cake and I haven't even tried it yet!!! It sounds delicious and it will definitely be made as soon as I get all of the ingredients. I'm the head mother at my church so we're always having functions and fund raisings. I also love to prepare different meals/deserts for family and friends. I'm 63 years old and I'm looking for different recipes. I have been doing the same cakes/pies for years and I'm due for some new ones. I've lost some weight, my health is better, I have a new attitude and I would desire a whole different range of recipes for cakes and pies. This is the beginning for me and your recipe for this cake is the first for my new-found recipes for cakes and pies that I'll be making in the future. Thanks so much and please continue to share so I can keep adding on…..Your cookbook would truly be a welcoming addition and I would treasure it and past it down as I've done with other recipes. My email address is: motherark414@yahoo.com
Looking forward to making this recipe. The cookbook looks great. Thanks for sharing this recipe. ccramirez2003@yahoo.com

Would LOVE to win this cookbook – totally love Christy's site & make many of her recipes (as well as yours).
Oh I would love to win this cookbook! Looks like she has some great "comfort food" recipes in there, and you got me right away with the Elvis Presley cake, especially once I read the ingredients. YUMMY! I'll be making this cake soon..(have to think up an excuse, don't I?) ..maybe to celebrate winning the cookbook? *crosses fingers* =) Thank you for sharing the recipe either way. I am drooling at the photos. =) queenmarylady@yahoo.com is my email. Thank you!

I also pinned it to my "recipes" board on Pinterest.
Pinned this recipe and can't wait to try it!!
I have made this cake and my family adores it….it is so moist but rich…..goodness all the way through. I would love to have the cookbook but I wish someone who cooks for others both out of love and charity who don't have the means or are unable to cook on their own (shutins, etc.) could be the lovely winner…..maybe Christy could write something meaningful in the book…..love your site County Cook; have just about wore the printer out getting these to put in my recipe notebook.
Love Christy and her down to earth philosophy. Would love to win this book!

I love to read cookbooks! Christy shares great recipes and I'm sure the stories she shares will be a treasure too!
I pinned to my Poke Cake board!
I love new recipes tried and true and I love Christy would love to have her cookbook. Thanks
This cookbook sounds great. Southern, simple and inspirational, it doesn't get any better than that!
Would love to have a copy of this cookbook for my collection, but I think it should go to Anonymous, Nov. 4, 11:41. It would be devastating to lose a collection of dearly loved cookbooks along with probably many other family treasures.

Christy is one of my favorite food bloogers and I lover her Southern recipes. I've found a number that I grew up eating but did not have the actual recipe. Would love to have all her cookbooks!
My email address is somewheresewin@yahoo.com
As much as I would want to keep the cookbook if I won it, I would give it to my daughter who has six kids. With all the different time schedules of sports, dancing lessons, cheerleading, and car pooling, it would be good for her to have easy and delicious recipes by such a conscientious cook. I am making the Elvis Presley cake tonight….I have all the ingredients on hand….I love the poke cakes! Thanks for all your recipes…..makes cooking so much fun!
Being unemployed, I now can get back to cooking, I've enjoyed using your recipeses, winning your book would be great it would go with my collection of cook books that I have .
Thanks for the giveaway – I love Christy Jordon – her recipes are so easy and delicious! I feel like I'm in my Mom's kitchen! My email address is wells66@bellsouth.net.
Two reasons: 1. I have ran out of ideas and preparing a meal has become a chore instead of a challenge/joy.
2. I am a basically an old fashioned, lazy cook – let me explain, by lazy I mean if I "pin" a recipe, I forget it – if I write it down, I lose it – So I have a collection of cookbooks that are worn and frayed from so much use. I prop them up, double check them, get food on them, wipe the pages down and put them up. So That is Why I Would Love to get this cookbook. Can't wait to try out all the good country comfort recipes. mikah_102@hotmail.com…
I would LOVE this cookbook because I get soooooo tired of cooking the same stuff for supper for my family. I am in desperate need of some new inspiration. I am also a collector of cookbooks, so I never turn down the chance to add to my collection.
I would like to win the cookbook for my 17 yr old daughter. She has showed a interest in cooking and your recipes are so simply and easy to fix I thought it would be a great cookbook for her and myself of course.
I have also pinned this to "Things to Bake". kriffavon@gmail.com
I love cookbooks! Thank you for the giveaway; such a nice gift. Christy Jordan's recipes are down home country good.
This cookbook would make a nice addition to my collection…It would be my first of Christy's.

Who can't use a new cookbook? I collect recipes. So I am always looking for easy ideas.
Vickdaniels@aol.com
I love recipes that are not national media material. Food network has good things. Taste of Home is good. My preference is a cookbook that you won't find on every store's bookshelf. I have never heard of you before today. I would welcome the chance to try your recipes. I am a 65 year old grandma who loves to cook.
Being a Southern cook, I find your recipes something I would tackle. I have been collecting cookbooks for a while now. Most of my collection are from the Junior Leagues of different cities and from PTA and churches, I try to find cookbooks that are a collection of Junior League, PTA and various church cookbooks from various cities and town because they reflect the best flavor of a certain area and I think your cookbook would be an ideal fit for my collection. You can e-mail at janholly34@gmail.com. I have pinned the recipe to my pinterest page.
Love cookbooks and Christy Jordan!
I love cookbooks and i collect them, I also use them to make lots of different things!!!!

I've posted this on my Pinterest board "What's for Dessert." (cavallee@yahoo.com)
I've always loved cookbooks and learning new recipes, ever since I was a kid. In the past 10 years or so I became disabled after having 4 back surgeries and my recipe finding mission became more out of necessity than just fun. I still look for fun recipes to try (on my good days) but I also look for easy, time saving meals that taste good. This sounds like a book I could enjoy in both capacities.
Also pinned this! 🙂 Have a great day!

I love cookbooks! and I love your and Christy's website!
I would love to win because I need some new recipe ideas!
I love cookbooks with pictures. I have a twin sister (& 3 other sisters) and she thinks it's weird to only like cookbooks if they have pictures. Fun names for the yummy looking family friendly recipes is another huge draw. I have some season salt the brand name is Falk, you have to know I annouce that I used falk salt in my recipe (if you say it outloud it is funny) until finally the evil twin says "how old are you, 12?" Pretty much, I love to laugh, & cook for family & friends. Your cookbookwould be loved, used & smudged before your next one is out!:-)
My mom and I love cookbooks. Mom isn't able to do much anymore so she enjoys reading them like abook. Then tells me after each recipe," that sounds good I think we should make it" .
Pinned to my baking board.
I'm always looking for new recipes.

I pinned Elvis cake to pinterest, I love cook books that has down to earth recipes, and quick recipes. I like to make new recipes to try them out. Zellerslinda@yahoo.com thank you for all the recipes you post.
I started following Christy Jordan on Facebook recently and am so glad I did! Not only does she post yummy family friendly recipes, but I've also found her posts to be quite inspirational. Lately I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed as a working Mommy of two small girls and her morning posts remind me to get out of bed and embrace the day instead of focusing on the negative. I need that little kick in the behind every now and then :). That being said, I would LOVE to have a copy of her cookbook. By the way, your recipes are a favorite of mine as well!

I have pinned this recipe to my Tummy Yummy board.
As a follower of both you & Christy, I would just love to have her cookbook. Thank you for the giveaway!
I collect cookbooks and am always looking for new recipes. I love to cook and my family doesn't mind being guinea pigs for all of the new recipes that I make. I'd love to add this cookbook to my collection!

I have been hooked on Elvis my whole life! I will give this a try. Thank you.
I am not inventive in the kitchen and rely on cookbooks and recipes. When I get new ones I read them like novels bookmarking all of the recipes my family would enjoy. I'm not much of a baker because it still seems so intimidating to me, however, with a recipe such as this Elvis Presley Cake I think I can put that notion to bed. Thanks for sharing Christy's recipe and the generous giveaway!
We're starting to do meal planning and need some fresh ideas. I think your cookbook would help us.
I pinned this to my cakes board. 🙂

I would be tickled pink to win that recipe book. It's on my wishlist! I'm a southern girl, just like her, and I love to cook, just like her! I follow you by email and would love a chance to win the recipe book!
Christy's sweet, sunny personality personality shines through in all her recipes and that makes me desire a copy of her cookbook.
The main reason I would love to win is I just love cookbooks , and this looks like good ,easy , every day cooking ideas . I love a recipe that is tried and true and the author is truly passionate about her work . Seems that is you .
I am so in need of some new ideas! I get stuck in a dinner rut after doing the same things over & over.

great post!

Was the pineapple supposed to be drained? It was very ruunny when poured on the cake.
When I retired 2 years ago I said I would start baking more. Believe it or not this is the first cake I made
Reminds me a 7up cake. It is delicious and everyone thinks so.
I made this as a treat for the lady who helps take care of me. I’m a paraplegic and she helps with showers, personal things. She’s a huge fan of Elvis! She was wondering what I was making and I wouldn’t tell her until she had the first bite! She said the cake was SO moist and delicious! Told her then what it was called. She was SO surprised! Delicious and will make again for sure! My pineapples were only in a 20oz can. I added another 1/2 cup of sugar while melting it in the pot. FYI
