2. Make the Peanut Butter Banana Filling:
- Mix peanut butter, mashed banana, and honey in a bowl. Adjust consistency with powdered sugar if too soft.
3. Create the "Bars" Frosting:
- Mix buttercream with crushed Oreos until speckled. Reserve ¼ cup for piping later.
4. Assemble the Cake:
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread peanut butter banana filling evenly.
- Top with second cake layer. Frost the entire cake with the Oreo-flecked frosting.
5. Add the "Bars" Design:
- Use a piping bag with a zig-zag tip to pipe white chocolate "bars" vertically across the cake.
- Fill gaps with melted white chocolate for a prison-cell look.
6. Top with Elvis’s Flair:
- Arrange banana slices on top. Sprinkle with bacon, edible glitter, and gold sprinkles.
- Add "keys" candy to the side for a jailbreak vibe!
Pro Tips for Maximum Jailhouse Glamour 🎸
- Texture Boost: Add ¼ cup crushed peanuts to the frosting for extra crunch.
- Bacon Hack: Bake bacon until super crispy, then crumble into small pieces.
- Edible Keys: Use mini chocolate coins and draw key shapes with melted chocolate.
- Cake Stability: Freeze layers for 15 minutes before frosting to prevent crumbling.
Why This Works 🧪
- Peanut Butter & Banana: A nod to Elvis’s legendary sandwich—sweet, creamy, and iconic.
- Oreo Bars Frosting: Adds texture and visual flair (like prison walls!).
- Bacon: Adds a salty crunch that balances the sweetness.
Variations to Try 🎨
- Adult Twist: Stir 1–2 tbsp bourbon into the frosting.
- Vegan Option: Use dairy-free buttercream, vegan peanut butter, and crushed vegan cookies.
- Red Velvet Revamp: Use red velvet cake mix for a "prison uniform" color!
Final Note: 🕺
This cake is a rock ‘n’ roll masterpiece —swoon-worthy layers, rebellious toppings, and enough nostalgia to make Elvis himself do the hootenanny. Serve it with a side of rebellion and a glass of sweet tea!
