Love pineapples and pecans? Then you might like this Elvis Presley Cake! It starts with a basic white cake mix, but add the pineapple topping and cream cheese frosting…you won’t be able to say no!

WHY IS IT CALLED ELVIS PRESLEY CAKE?
From my research, this cake is supposedly the cake that Elvis asked his grandma for the most often. Doesn’t that make it so special? I’m sure it has another name out there, but I’m sure it doesn’t mind being called the Elvis Presley Cake either.

SEMI-HOMEMADE CAKE
I love recipes that start with a box cake mix. Jazzing a plain cake up into something spectacular is fun because there are endless flavor combinations! Also, the cake mix gives a good base to a recipe.

For this Elvis Presley Cake, simple bake a white cake mix as the back of the box suggests. It can be whatever brand of cake mix you’d like, just make sure it will fill a 9×13 cake pan.

Ingredients
1 box white cake mix (with ingredients on the back of the box)
For the pineapple topping:
8 ounces crushed pineapple with juice (1 small can)
1/2 cup granulated sugar

For the frosting:
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar
4-5 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Prepare cake according to instructions on package.
Bake in a greased 9x13 inch pan according to package directions.
Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack.
Once the cake has cooled, use a fork to poke some holes over the top of the cake.
Combine pineapple and sugar in saucepan. Bring o barely a boil and stir until the sugar is dissolve. The juice should look clear. Then remove from heat.
Spoon over cooled cake and spread the pineapple out to cover the top completely.
In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Add powdered sugar and beat again until smooth. Add in the heavy cream a tablespoon at a time as needed to make the frosting spreadable.
Drop spoonfuls of frosting over the top of the cake, then spread the frosting very carefully over cake. Be very gently doing this so the layers stay in place.
Sprinkle with pecans.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

I've added coconut to the top along with maraschino cherries & Mandarin oranges to the top before the frosting. I made it for a church event & got Rave Reviews! One of my friends has talked about it the last 2 years! Yes, that good! Yum!

Can you use cherries instead of pineapple, or peaches?

I'll use black walnuts instead of pecans as they are my favorite nut

I’m sorry Elvis, but the pineapple upside down cake is so much better especially when you mix the pineapple juice in the cake batter

Good god if you are going to show a recipe have the intelligence to specify if the butter is salted or not. IT MATTERS!
