Food Porn: Elvis's Devil's Food Cake

This cake is fit for The King - and we're not talking about the Burger King. We're talking about Elvis, who was known for his love of fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Since it was a Southern boy, we can safely assume that he wouldn't have turned down a decadent chocolate cake with lots of whipped cream, either. This Elvis Devil's Food Cake was baked by Alice Q. Foodie.

The devil's food cake layers are very easy to make and provide a base that could be used for many different cakes. The two layers can be made in advance, but the rest of this cake must be finished right before serving. For assembly, heavy cream is whipped to peaks and sweetened, then spread on top of the base layer. The whipped cream is then topped with a layer of sliced banana and little dollops of peanut butter, before the top layer is laid into place and finished with more whipped cream. AQF decorated the finished product with more banana slices and peanut butter, making sure each slice of the 9-inch cake would have one.
