This Presley Sheet Cake!!! is rich, tender, moist and filled with chopped pecans. It is topped with a delicious cream cheese frosting that pairs perfectly with the easy cake. It’s a pecan lover’s dream.
Pecan desserts are a Southern tradition. From adding them to layered desserts to making them the stars of the show in cakes and pies, pecans are a classic addition to many different desserts. Over the years, pecans have been put into all kinds of recipes.
Of course, Hummingbird Cake is a classic dessert with pecans in it, as we like to call it “Pink Stuff” here. It’s a kind of pudding and whipped cream. Also, you better believe I’ve made my fair share of pecan pie. There is one pecan dessert that I love to make more than anything else, this delicious pecan cake.
This is a super easy cake recipe even for beginners. Just a few simple ingredients, a little mixing, a little baking and frosting, that’s it. There are no fancy layers or build methods. It’s just good old fashioned cake, and it’s delicious.

Place a toothpick in the center of the cake and if the toothpick comes out of the batter, leave the cake in it while baking.
