List of Ingredients






This recipe was developed by Elvis' next-door neighbor in Tupelo. One of these cakes was sent to Graceland about every month."

3 sticks butter

3 cups sugar

8 ounces heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons vanilla extract (use the real stuff, no imitation)

1 teaspoon lemon extract

3 cups flour (Swan's Down cake flour)

8 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Cream together butter, sugar and whipping cream. Add vanilla and lemon extracts. Add the flour, eggs and salt. Beat this batter for 10 minutes or more, until the batter seems to lighten in color. What is happening is the incorporation of air changes the color. Bake for 1-1/2 hours.

Note: The recipe doesn't specify a pan, let alone its size, but we'd go for a Bundt or tube pan or maybe a couple of loaf pans, and we'd butter and flour them, just to be on the safe side. Don't overfill; maybe 3/4 full, either pan.
