Today would be the birthday of Mississippi-born Elvis Presley (1935 - 1977) if he were still with us, and you know, I just don't buy the whole "Elvis Presley Cake" thing at all. While he might have liked pineapple, somehow I just do not see Elvis being all that crazy about a pineapple cake. Nothing against that cake at all, I love it, but wouldn't he love a peanut butter cake even more? Just sayin'...
Now, what I do believe for sure is that he probably would have stopped by the Arcade Restaurant in Memphis, last booth on the left, and grabbed a snack of a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich - two slices of white bread, each slathered with peanut butter, sliced banana in between, and fried in a ton of butter till golden brown. I'd be willing to bet he would have loved any one of these recipes on his birthday, or any day too.
