How to Make Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock Cake:
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
– 1/2 cup whole milk
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 3-4 tbsp heavy cream
Directions:
1. Start your recipe by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Next, prepare your baking pan (9×13 inch) with some grease and flour.
2. In a sufficiently large bowl, whisk your baking powder, sugar, baking soda, salt, and flour.
3. In a second bowl, smoothly cream the peanut butter and butter. Add your mashed bananas, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing continually until it forms a consistent mixture.
4. Now combine your dry and wet ingredients gradually, stirring it in slowly until you get a uniform mixture. Fill up your baking pan with this batter and allow it to bake for around half an hour or until your cake passes the toothpick test.
5. Allow your cake to cool off completely in the pan, placed on a wire rack.
6. To prepare the frosting, mix the peanut butter and butter until it’s creamy. Gradually add your powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until it’s smooth. Then, add heavy cream, a tablespoon at a time, till the mix achieves a consistency fit for spreading.
7. Finally, smear the frosting evenly across the cooled cake. Slice and serve as desired.
