Can’t Help Falling In Love…

You won’t be able to help falling in love with this Gluten Free Elvis Peanut Butter and Jelly Cake. This cake is perfect for any special occasion, or just because.

Have you ever had an Elvis sandwich? While the combination of banana and peanut butter is a must, there are other additions commonly found on an Elvis. Some people add bacon while others drizzle on honey. This variation utilizes jam.

The base batter for this decadent cake starts with a banana cake. Forget making banana bread, this cake is ideal for those overly ripe bananas. With three bananas added to the batter, it packs that naturally sweet flavor in every bite while also benefiting from the moisture.

The batter for this Gluten Free Elvis Peanut Butter and Jelly Cake is then divided into two. One half has creamy peanut butter folded in. The other half gets a double dose of strawberry flavor with both fresh diced strawberries and strawberry jam.

Crowning this decadent cake is tangy yet sweet Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting. Dairy Free cream cheese is flavored with strawberry flavoring while peanut butter and strawberry jam grace the center.

How to Make this Recipe Nut Free

With so many allergens and food sensitivities, I am always looking for ways to make my recipes accessible to everyone. If you or one of your friends or family have a tree nut allergy, the peanut butter in this recipe can be replaced with sunflower seed butter.

In addition to providing its own unique flavor that is a great swap for peanut butter, sunflower seed butter also offers up additional nutrients. It’s rich in protein, vitamin E, fiber, zinc, and iron.
