ELVIS PRESLEY POKE CAKE

Steps:

• 2. In a small saucepan, boil crushed pineapple with juice, 1 cup white sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for a few minutes. Then pour over cooled cake. This will fill up the holes that you've poked in the cake.

• 4. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours before serving. Refrigerate overnight to give the cake the best flavor.
• 5. Refrigerate any leftovers. Can be served cold from the fridge or heated for a few seconds in the microwave.
