Eating with Elvis

It’s no secret that The King loved his comfort food. Burnt bacon, mashed potatoes, pork chops — and apparently, a good Southern pound cake.

Curious? Saveur has the recipe (and the backstory) on Presley’s favorite cake, baked for him by his childhood friend every Christmas. We hear he could polish off a whole loaf in one sitting, but we’re thinking a slice with a a little tea and honey would be just perfect.
