Elvis Presley's Favorite Whipping Cream Pound Cake





The recipe comes from an old lady who was a dear friend of Elvis. She made this cake for him every Christmas and on special occasions. She made the paper promise to keep her name anonymous for
fear that people would deluge her Tupelo Mississippi home with requests by fans to make her cakes for them.
