How to Make Elvis Presley Cake
- Preheat oven to the temperature specified on the yellow cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the yellow cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- While the cake is baking, combine the undrained crushed pineapple and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a small saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- In a separate small saucepan, combine the softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
- Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is melted and smooth. Add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Once slightly cooled, gently poke holes all over the top using the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Carefully pour the warm pineapple mixture evenly over the top of the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
- Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the cake.
- Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for optimal flavor and consistency.
