Company always request this as it really is delicious, so I decided to make it ahead of time, to serve it later this evening.

I hope all our QVC pals love it as much as we all do.

"COMMON SENSE SHOULD PREVAIL WHENEVER MAKING ANY RECIPE".

"SHOULD THE INGREDIENTS  OF ANY RECIPE BE TOO SWEET, THE BAKER OR COOK CAN ALWAYS ADJUST THEM TO SUIT THEIR OWN PREFERENCES, AND THE MEDICAL NEEDS OF OTHERS".

"MANY NON DIABETICS, AND DIABETICS, CAN AND DO ENJOY THIS ELVIS PRESLEY CAKE ".

IF A DIABETIC PERSON IS PRESENT WHEN I SERVE THIS ELVIS PRESLEY CAKE, I  CAN ALWAYS MAKE A SECOND SMALLER CAKE USING DIABETIC FRIENDLY SUGAR ALTERNATIVES....AGAIN THAT ALSO IS JUST USING PLAIN COMMON SENSE, SO EVERYONE CAN ENJOY THIS ELVIS PRESLEY CAKE OR ANY TYPE  OF FOOD.

Elvis Presley Cake Recipe

http://www.kitchme.com/recipes/elvis-presley-cake

The photograph on the web site displays a round cake, but the recipe calls for the use of a 9X13 inch cake pan, which is how I prepare it.

Depending how you cut the cake to serve, you can get 24 servings if you make the recipe in a 9X13 inch cake pan.

Ingredients:

1 package (18.25 ounce) white cake mix

1 can (8 ounce) crushed pineapple, with juice

2 cup white sugar

1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese

1⁄2 cup butter, softened

4 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup pecans, chopped

Directions:

• Prep 20 min
• Cook 30 min
• Ready 50 min

1. Prepare cake according to instructions on the package. Bake in a 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Allow to cool.
2. Combine pineapple and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Spoon over cooled cake.
3. In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add vanilla extract and pecans and mix well.
4. Spread cream cheese frosting over the cake.

Hi birkinbaby,

So glad to read your kind reply......"Many thanks dear friend!".

Was on vacation since the early summer, and returned just before Thanksgiving holiday.

It's nice to be back home again and posting on the QVC Community Recipe bb. I have missed it, and also missed all my QVC pals.

I hope you willl try the cake because it is really delicious, and Elvis loved it so much it was named after him.

I know whomever you serve it to will most certainly appreciate your efforts and enjoy it, and I also know you will enjoy it as well.

Have a lovely weekend, and enjoy the upcoming holidays.

@DiAnne A reviewer on thel allrecipes site who made this cake described it  as,  It's not a bad cake, but it's VERY sweet...a diabetic coma in one piece! Even my kids thought so."   

Of the good reviews provided that I read, adjustments were either made or recommended for the amount of sugar needed.

Hi PinkDogwood,

Thanks for your lovely reply but it is not a photo of my cake, someone else posted the photograph.

I bake this in a 9X13 inch pan to serve many so a little goes a long way.

Of course you can control the sweetness of the cake for your own preferences as I always do, but no matter how it is baked it is delicious!

I hope you will also try it.

Served it for my company, and everyone loved it, as usual.
