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 eggs 
* 1/2 cup melted butter 
* 1 cup grits 
* 8 oz. pack cream cheese 
* 16 oz. powdered sugar 
* 1 tsp. vanilla 
== Directions ==
# Preheat over 350 degrees Fahrenheit (careful here, ovens may vary. Mine does, a lot!). 
# 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 (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!
