PJ, I have been making your recipes for years. This one is a real wonder winner! I have made it maybe 20 times since it was posted. I often make it in 2 smaller pans so I can give them to my daughter to keep one and take one to the office for her colleagues to enjoy. Since the market melt down, my daughter's job in the finance industry has become even more stressful. Elvis' favorite cake has made a lot of people less stressed!
I don't know if anyone ever replied to the question about baking cakes in a convection oven but I used to bake with one in an industrial stove. It is possible to bake cakes but it takes some extra care. I found that loaf cakes just never cooked properly. Layer cakes ok if you lower the temp to the recommended level, usually around 35-50 degrees. The best results were from bundt cake pans. I was able to turn off the convection fan and that was really the best.
