A delightful dessert tribute to Elvis Presley featuring moist yellow cake, rich cream cheese icing, and tropical crushed pineapple.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (18 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1 box (16 oz) powdered sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed pineapple in syrup
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 12 oz semi-sweet coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to the yellow cake mix package instructions. Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing or lining it.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple (with syrup) and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until warmed through.
  3. In another saucepan, melt the softened cream cheese over low heat and gradually add half of the powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth.
  4. In a large bowl, prepare the yellow cake mix according to the package instructions by mixing in the eggs, vegetable oil, and water until well combined.
  5. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer.
  6. Bake as directed on the package until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, poke holes in the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon, and pour the warm pineapple mixture evenly over the cake.
  8. Drizzle the cream cheese icing over the cake, spreading it as desired for extra flavor.
  9. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans and coconut on top for added texture and taste.
  10. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for easier blending. Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
