Description

This Elvis Presley Pineapple Cake is a moist and flavorful dessert inspired by the King himself. It features a classic white cake base infused with a sweet pineapple glaze and topped with a rich cream cheese frosting mixed with crunchy pecans. The combination of tropical fruit, creamy frosting, and nutty texture makes this cake a memorable treat perfect for gatherings and special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple with juice
  • 1 cup sugar

Frosting

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-3 cups crushed pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Follow the instructions on the white cake mix box to prepare the batter. Pour into a baking pan and bake as directed. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely.
  2. Poke Holes in the Cake: Using a fork, gently poke holes all over the cooled cake to allow the pineapple glaze to seep in.
  3. Make Pineapple Glaze: In a saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple with its juice and 1 cup of sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it boil for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Pour Glaze Over Cake: Immediately pour the hot pineapple mixture evenly over the cake, letting it soak into the holes you made.
  5. Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add Flavor and Crunch: Stir in the vanilla extract and crushed pecans until well incorporated into the frosting.
  7. Frost the Cake: Spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the pineapple-soaked cake, covering it evenly.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake and enjoy this sweet, creamy, and nutty treat that pays homage to Elvis Presley’s favorite flavors.

Notes

  • For best results, make sure the cake is completely cooled before applying the pineapple glaze to prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Adjust the amount of crushed pecans in the frosting according to your preference for crunchiness.
  • You can refrigerate the cake before serving to help the frosting set and enhance flavor melding.
  • If you prefer, substitute chopped walnuts or almonds for the pecans.
