Elvis Presley’s Favorite Pound Cake is a legendary Southern dessert with a story as rich as its buttery flavor. This iconic cake is said to have been a favorite of Elvis himself, famously gifted to him by the mother of one of his childhood friends. True to classic pound cake tradition, this recipe is simple, indulgent, and unapologetically rich, relying on high-quality ingredients and proper technique rather than modern shortcuts. What makes this cake stand out is its dense yet tender crumb, deep vanilla aroma, and beautifully golden crust that forms during a long, slow bake. There’s no leavening like baking powder or baking soda here air is created by creaming the butter and sugar thoroughly, which is the secret to achieving the cake’s signature texture.
This pound cake is the definition of old-school Southern baking. It’s meant to be enjoyed slowly, sliced thick, and served plain or with minimal accompaniments like fresh berries, whipped cream, or a light dusting of powdered sugar. The flavor is buttery and comforting, not overly sweet, making it perfect for breakfast with coffee, an afternoon treat, or a classic dessert after dinner. Using cake flour gives it a finer, softer crumb than all-purpose flour, while the combination of vanilla and lemon extracts adds subtle depth without overpowering the cake’s richness. Baking it in a tube or bundt pan allows even heat distribution, which is essential for such a dense batter.
