RARE FACTS YOU MIGHT HAVE NOT KNOWN ABOUT ELVIS PRESLEY!
Garon Presley. Elvis attributed this loss to a haunting loneliness that had been with him throughout his whole life. Although he never had other biological siblings, he did gain three stepbrothers through marriage later in life. No. 3: Elvis’ moves were so offensive that a Florida judge wanted to arrest him. Elvis’ signature dance moves are considered inspirational today, but it took some serious trailblazing to make it so. His hip shimmying was considered far too risque in the ‘50s. In fact, in August 1956, juvenile court judge Marion Gooding attended an Elvis concert in Florida and was appalled. He threatened to have Elvis arrested the next time he saw his show unless he toned his act down — however, he would permit “limited side-to- side movements.” We hope these facts were entertaining enough to turn on a sweet Elvis tune this month. You can never go wrong with classic rock ‘n’ roll!
No. 1: Elvis had a very strict shopping list. But not in the way you might think. While celebrities today are often promoting new healthy diets, Elvis did not care to count calories. Elvis’ favorite dish became famous as the “Elvis Sandwich,” which consists of an entire loaf of bread hollowed out and filled with peanut butter, grape jelly, and a pound of bacon. His weekly grocery list is said to have costed nearly $500 a week, which included one case of Pepsi, one case of orange drink, six cans of biscuits, cans of sauerkraut, hot dogs, banana pudding (cooked fresh nightly), meatloaf, brownies, ice cream, shredded coconut, fudge cookies, and gum. No. 2: A family death deeply affected him — before he was born. Before Elvis was even born, he lost a dear family member: his twin brother, Jesse

directions
1. Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F. Line the bottom of a 7–9-inch springform cake pan with a circle of parchment paper, then grease the paper and the sides of the pan. 2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Then take off the heat and set aside. 3. Add the cocoa, sugar, flour, and vanilla to the butter and stir a little. Then add the eggs and stir everything together until well combined. 4. Pour the mixture into the cake pan and bake for 20–25 minutes until the top is set but the center is still gooey. The top should be firm but crack under a little pressure from your finger. 5. Let the cake cool in the pan, then run a knife between the pan and the cake to loosen it. Turn out onto a plate or cake stand. Dust generously with cocoa powder and serve warm with ice cream or cream.
