2022 A new movie came out about Elvis. It was a pretty good movie and brought back many memories of his movies, and music. Elvis is remembered for so many things, but it seems his love of over- the- top sweets reigns supreme. Here are 2 recipes that are show- stoppers for sure!
PEANUT BUTTER GOOEY BUTTER CAKE
Cake layer:
1 package of yellow cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup ( 1 stick) of butter, melted
Filling:
18 ox package of cream softened cheese
3 eggs
1 t vanilla extract
1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter ( Jif )
1 ripe banana, mashed with a fork
1/2 cup butter ( 1 stick )
One 1-lb box of confectioner's sugar
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13 by 9- baking pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, egg ,and butter with a fork, mixing well. Pat lightly into the prepared pan.
To prepare the filling, in the same large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla. Add the peanut butter, banana, and butter and beat well. Stir in confectioner's sugar with a spatula, then beat mixture until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Bake for 45 minutes. You want the center to still be a little loose, so do not over bake. Allow it to cool completely before slicing.
I can't tell you how many Gooey Butter Cakes I've made over the years! There are many variations, but this one is out of this world!
FRIED PEANUT BUTTER ND BANANA SANDWICH
2 slices of white bread
2 T creamy peanut butter ( Jif )
1 small ripe banana
2 T butter
Spread 1 slice of the bread with the peanut butter. Slice the banana evenly over the peanut butter. Fry the sandwich in a small skillet over medium heat until bread is browned on both sides.
I love a good peanut butter and banana sandwich on white bread! Frying in butter takes it up a level!
