Dolly Parton's dream dinner party has lots of cake.
, where we ask notable figures to describe just that: the dinner party of their dreams.
For Elvis I’d make a peanut butter and banana sandwich. I’d make something good and Southern for me and Dr. King. I’m sure he’d love some collards, as would I. Of course, we’d have to have some barbecue ribs. There’s nothing I love better, especially when it comes with a good sauce, which makes all the difference. I like my sauce between sweet and vinegary. And I like my barbecue to betender so I don't have to gnaw on that bone. Now, Jesus, that’s another story. He may not want to eat.
Banana pudding is my favorite dessert—real banana pudding in a big bowl. That’s what inspired me to do a banana pudding cake collaboration with Duncan Hines. It’s very good; I think you’ll agree. I’d also serve the other cake in the line, our coconut cake. People in the South like to bake a coconut cake for special occasions because it looks impressive and is delicious. I’d use our buttercream frosting too. I’d serve it with coffee or milk. I love cake and milk.
