Description

This 3-ingredient Elvis Presley Cake is the ultimate shortcut to Southern dessert bliss. Moist, tropical, and topped with luscious cream cheese frosting, it’s a retro recipe with modern-day crowd appeal. Perfect for potlucks, parties, or a sweet slice of nostalgia any day of the week!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix (gluten-free works too)
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 tub (16 oz) cream cheese frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prep Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Mix Batter: In a large bowl, stir together cake mix and undrained crushed pineapple until smooth and combined. No eggs, oil, or water needed.
  3. Bake: Pour into prepared pan and bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cake will rise and turn golden.
  4. Cool Slightly & Frost: Let cool for 10 minutes. Spread cream cheese frosting over warm cake to create a melted glaze effect.
  5. Serve & Enjoy: Slice and serve slightly warm or chilled. Garnish with coconut flakes or pineapple chunks for extra flair.

Notes

Tip: For a tropical twist, swap cake mix for coconut or banana flavor. Make it vegan with a plant-based cake mix and dairy-free frosting. Bake in muffin tins for adorable individual Elvis Cakes!
