ELVIS' PUDDING CAKE
I love the flavors of peanut butter and banana together, and this slow-cooker pudding cake is just like eating an Elvis sandwich, only sweeter! Banana chips add a surprisingly crunchy texture; find them near the dried fruit in your grocery store. -Lisa Renshaw, Kansas City, Missouri

ELVIS PRESLEY'S FAVORITE WHIPPING CREAM POUND CAKE
This recipe appeared in Our local newspaper about 20 years ago. The recipe comes from an old lady who was a dear friend of Elvis. She made this cake for him every Christmas and on special occasions. She made the paper promise to keep her name anonymous for fear that people would deluge her Tupelo Mississippi home with requests by fans to make her cakes for them.

I got this recipe from a friend who served it on New Year's Eve. It was so moist and tasty I had to share it. I can't remember why she said it was called "Elvis Presley" cake. If you know, please let me know. Anyway, it is very easy and very good.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position, but do not preheat oven.
- Generously butter pan and dust with flour, knocking out excess flour.
- Sift together sifted flour (3 cups) and salt into a bowl. Repeat sifting into another bowl (flour will have been sifted 3 times total).
- Beat together butter (2 sticks) and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes in a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment or 6 to 8 minutes with a handheld mixer. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add half of flour, then all of cream, then remaining flour, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down side of bowl, then beat at medium-high speed 5 minutes. Batter will become creamier and satiny.
- Spoon batter into pan and rap pan against work surface once or twice to eliminate air bubbles. Place pan in (cold) oven and turn oven temperature to 350°F. Bake until golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in middle of cake comes out with a few crumbs adhering, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Cool cake in pan on a rack 30 minutes. Run a thin knife around inner and outer edges of cake, then invert rack over pan and invert cake onto rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- For a more decadent dessert, add a layer of whipped cream or ice cream between the cake and pudding layers.
- To make the cake ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, assemble the cake and pudding layers.
