Pineapple is Key: Don’t drain the can! The juice adds flavor and keeps the cake moist.
Frost When Cool: If the cake is warm, the cream cheese frosting will melt. Patience pays off.
Nutty Twist: Pecans add crunch, but you can also use walnuts or even toasted coconut for a Southern flair.
Make Ahead: This cake tastes even better the next day after the flavors meld. Store in the fridge overnight.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
Serve chilled or at room temperature with a hot cup of coffee.
Cut into squares for parties or potlucks — it’s a great crowd-feeder.
For a real Elvis touch, pair with a side of sliced bananas.
