Elvis Presley Sheet Cake

Inspired by Elvis’s legendary love for peanut butter, bananas, and a little something extra (bacon, of course!), this sheet cake is a rock ‘n’ roll masterpiece. Creamy, sweet, and irresistibly indulgent—just like the man himself.

Ingredients (Serves 12–16)

For the Cake:

1 box vanilla cake mix (or homemade: 2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, ¾ cup oil, 2 eggs, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 cup milk, 2 tsp vanilla )
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract (optional for depth )

For the Banana-Peanut Butter Filling:

½ cup smooth peanut butter (creamy, no sugar added )
½ cup cream cheese (softened )
½ cup powdered sugar
1 ripe banana (mashed )
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Peanut Butter Frosting:

1 cup unsalted butter (softened )
2 cups powdered sugar
½ cup peanut butter (plus extra for drizzling )
1 tsp vanilla extract

Toppings (The Elvis Touch):

2 ripe bananas (sliced )
4 strips bacon (cooked crispy, chopped )
Sprinkles (gold or red for “bling” )
Mini peanut butter cups (optional )
