How to Make Elvis Presley's Favorite Whipping Cream Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup heavy whipping cream.
  6. Gradually add the remaining dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once completely cooled, wrap the cake tightly and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
