View source for Gooey Grits Cake


I was intrigued when I came across this unusual dessert recipe. Now, ordinarily, I wouldn't think that a dessert containing [[grits]], of all things, would be appealing. But there was a time when I thought [[rice]] was a funny choice, too, and I'm now a huge fan of [[rice]] pudding. 
So needless to say, I tried it and surprisingly it wasn't bad. In fact, it was sweet...maybe a little too sweet for some people, but I don't mind. 

Here it is: 

'''[[Grits]] Cake''' 
== Ingredients ==
* 1 yellow cake mix 
* 4 [[egg]]s 
* 1/2 cup melted [[butter]] 
* 1 cup [[grits]] 
* 8 oz. pack [[cream cheese]] 
* 16 oz. [[powdered sugar]] 
* 1 tsp. [[vanilla]] 
== Procedures ==
# Preheat over 350 degrees farenheit (careful here, ovens may vary. Mine does, a lot!). 
# Mix cake, 2 [[egg]]s, [[butter]], and [[grits]] in a bowl. 
# Mix [[cream cheese]], [[powdered sugar]], 2 [[egg]]s, and [[vanilla]] until smooth and creamy. 
# Spread first mixture into a 9 x 13 pan.
# Pour second mixture over cake batter, then bake for 35–45 minutes (once again, ovens may vary). 
# The top of the cake should be gooey. 
# If you give this dessert recipe a try, I'd love to know what you think about it!
