An ode to Elvis Presley…a decadent peanut butter sheet cake 
lathered with a creamy banana frosting!
 
Peanut Butter Sheet Cake with Banana Frosting, Elvis Presley

 

 
While thinking of flavor combinations the other I day I thought about Elvis Presley and how he loved peanut butter and banana sandwiches.  I’ve made a sandwich like that before and enjoyed it so I knew I liked the flavors.  At first I was going to make a banana cake with peanut butter frosting, but then I saw there were a million recipes like that already!  So I decided to flip it around and make a peanut butter cake with a banana frosting.  I’m happy to say that not only is it easy to make, but quite delicious too.  I think Elvis would be quite happy!
