Elvis Presley Pound Cake. Silky smooth and buttery. Serve slender slices.
Again in 1997, Maida Heatter adapted a recipe she occurred to see in an challenge of Television Tutorial titled “Elvis Presley’s Favorite Pound Cake.” She goes on to say the tale exposed Elvis cherished a certain pound cake and eaten it with abandon.
American foods historians Jane and Michael Stern, composing in Saveur journal, relate how they frequently dined with Elvis admirers who felt near to The King since he under no circumstances shed his taste for down-property foods. Elvis could manage caviar and beef Wellington, but as a substitute, he eagerly downed well-done burgers. And what to consume? Why, Pepsi of course. Not Champagne, no sir.
Elvis favored basic southern sweets for dessert, and one particular preferred took place to be pound cake. Not just any pound cake but a specific a person. The Sterns say pound cake for Elvis meant a cake baked by his childhood close friend, Janelle McComb. And she gave the recipe to the Sterns in 1987, on the 10th anniversary of The King’s dying.
In accordance to the Sterns, “Every yr at Xmas, McComb would bake two loaves and bring them to Graceland. Elvis would consume a single all by himself.” Elvis enthusiasts follow TCE (Taking Care of Elvis). And to serve McComb’s cake keeps his legend alive.
Greens with combine of textures and tastes
I believe you will adore this cake. Heatter adapted the recipe she uncovered in Television set Tutorial and extra 1/8 teaspoon mace, a typical southern spice often provided in a pound cake. She also additional 1 teaspoon of baking powder, absent from the first recipe. I designed my own modification by reducing the volume of sugar from 3 cups to 2 cups. Satisfied baking!
