I had a slice of an Elvis Presley Cake at a restaurant recently and it was delicious. When I read the total number of carbs in this recipe for a slice, 92.5 g., I could not believe the amount but I decided that I would bake this one anyway, and try not remember the amount of carbs because it is so delicious!!!
