Why This Cake Fits the King’s Taste

Elvis often talked about his favorite sandwich – peanut butter, banana and a little bacon on white bread. Fans turned that into a dessert, and the result is a moist, buttery cake that feels indulgent without being over‑the‑top. The peanut butter adds richness, the banana keeps it soft, and a drizzle of chocolate brings that extra wow factor.

Step‑by‑Step Elvis Cake

Ingredients (makes one 9‑inch round cake):

• 1 cup all‑purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup smooth peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• ¼ cup milk
• ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9‑inch round pan and line the bottom with parchment.
2. In a bowl whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Beat butter, peanut butter and sugar together until light and fluffy – about 2‑3 minutes.
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Mix in vanilla.
5. Stir in mashed banana.
6. Gradually add the dry mix, alternating with milk. Stop when the batter is smooth.
7. If you love chocolate, fold in half the chips now.
8. Pour batter into the pan, smooth the top, and bake for 30‑35 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean.
9. Let the cake cool 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack.
10. While the cake is still warm, melt the remaining chocolate chips and drizzle over the top. Let the glaze set before slicing.

That’s it. You have a cake that tastes like Elvis’s favorite snack but in a dessert form. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Want to make it extra special? Add a thin layer of banana jam between two halves, or sprinkle chopped peanuts on the chocolate drizzle. These small tweaks keep the cake interesting without complicating the process.

Storing the cake is easy. Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you need to hold it longer, wrap tightly and freeze – it thaws well in the fridge.

Now you have a dessert that sings the same blues as Elvis’s voice. It’s quick, delicious and perfect for birthdays, game nights or just a mid‑week treat. Give it a try and let the King’s flavor rock your kitchen!
