Today was Elvis' 75th birthday, if he were still alive, and this recipe
was in the Chicago Tribune. I have not tried it, but I would love to.
Elvis was before my time, but when I was a kid, I sure did enjoy his
movies.

BTW, I want to compare this cake to koko's Bishop's Cake.

Elvis Presley Pound Cake

3 cups sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
7 eggs, at room temperature
3 cups cake flour, sifted twice
1 cup whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract


Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine the sugar and butter in bowl of electric
mixer; beat on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1
at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the
flour; add whipping cream. Beat in remaining flour and vanilla.

Pour batter into two buttered and floured 8½-x-4½-inch loaf pans. Bake
until golden and a tester inserted in the center of cakes comes out
clean, about 1 hour. Cool in pans 5 minutes. Remove from pans; cool
completely on wire racks. Makes 2 cakes, about 20 servings.
