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 made this cake yesterday and it was very good, but I didn't like the grainy part. I was wondering if the grits were supposed to be cooked instead of dry. So I looked around on the internet and found this site

It's the fifth recipe down and it calls for "cooked" grits. I will make the cake again, but next time, I'll cook the grits.
