Gooey Grits Cake
#1
There is a famous cafe (Bell Buckle Cafe) that has the bestest dessert. You gotta get in there early to get it or they have run out. One of the waitresses that work there gave me the recipe. I have not made this yet, just eaten it at the cafe. Hopefully it's as good as the Cafe's.
Grits Cake
1 yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup grits
8 oz. pack cream cheese
16 oz. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Preheat over 350 degrees farenheit. Mix cake, 2 eggs, butter, and grits in a bowl.
Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, 2 eggs, 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.
The top of the cake should be gooey.
Then mix real whipping cream with some sugar ( use 1 pint whipping cream and 2 tbs sugar) to spread on top. You can use frozen or canned but I prefer the real stuff!

I have been to Bell Buckle, Tenn. Very unique place.
Grits is ground corn. Cooked in water until soft and tender. Grits is a staple in the South, also the Bahamas.

And.....if you have polenta, the italian version/name, it is pretty much the same thing. The grind might be a little different and it may be yellow corn, but close enough IMHO.
