Elvis Presley’s Favorite Pound Cake
By May 19, 2020
My friend Chris made Elvis Presley's Favorite Pound Cake. It was really the best pound cake I have ever had. It has such a great texture and the vanilla really shines. According to legend, Elvis could polish off the entire cake in one sitting. This somehow doesn't surprise me! There seems to be many versions of this cake, but Chris's is the bomb!

Directions
1Butter and Flour 10" tube or Bundt cake pan. Cream together Sugar and Butter till fluffy, then add in cream cheese and cream further until fluffy.
2Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each. Mix in the whipping cream and vanilla.
3Whisk the salt into the sifted flour. Carefully stir the flour mixture into the butter-cream cheese mixture and combine well. Pour into prepared flour-coated pan.
4Place in a cold oven and turn on the heat to 325° F. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes, then test with a long pick or skewer to test for doneness.
5Cool in pan, 10 minutes, no more, then invert.
6Remove from pan and cool thoroughly.
7Wrap well this cake will keep for several days.
Note
I found that baking a pound cake at 325° F for 1 hour and 10 minutes provides a more tender and moist cake. Your oven may differ hence it is best to test after about 45 - 50 minutes.
