A friend shared the "Elvis Presley Cake" recipe and I knew I wanted to try it. I shook up the ingredients a bit and came up with an enhanced cake that is more like homemade. I added additional ingredients; flour, sugar and eggs. Instead of using water that the mix calls for I use canned coconut milk and I used butter in place of oil. I added coconut extract to the frosting instead of vanilla. Named this "All Shook Up" for one of Elvis' song since this was inspired by his favorite cake. Wonder if he would have liked this one? Hope you enjoy! Bet you can't eat just one piece.
