Step-by-Step Instructions
To start making this mouthwatering Elvis Presley Cake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, crushed pineapple, eggs, oil, and granulated sugar. I like to use an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until everything is well-blended and the batter is smooth. The mixture smells divine as the pineapple and vanilla meld together in my kitchen and promise a delightful cake! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
