It was beautiful coming out of the oven, but little did I know it tasted of manure with a sand-like texture.

substituted 1/4 cup each cornmeal and extra flour in place of grits...the cake itself was fine. the peach topping was horrible and burny tasting. needed about 15 mins longer cooking time and i think this resulted in burned caramel. deleting from my recipe box..

I made this cake this evening after looking at the website and saw how tasty it looked. Wow was I wrong! I should have read the reviews before setting aside two hours on a week day to bake it. The worst part was the caramel sauce...yes it tasted burnt, and I only boiled it for three minutes. The texture is horrible and I am very disappointed.

I made this cake last night and made a few changes, in the caramel i only put sugar, water & vanilla and poured it over the peaches in the pan -I added
yellow corn meal instead of grits and added a tsp of cinnamon and a tsp of vanilla into the batter it was great.

Serendipitously, I ended up with a great cake. At he last moment I had to improvise and the result was great. First of all, I used Quaker Instant Grits and I did not encounter the "grittiness". I also used half the amount of called for grits. The vanilla is a nice touch. I used non-stick spray on the pan and on the parchment paper and had no problems. I also used whole Allspice and this added flavor.
I prefer to start by mixing the sugar and butter, then adding the eggs one at a time, and then the sour cream and vanilla. I also combine and sift the dry ingredients (other than the sugar and then add this mixture into the combined wet ingredients. The baking time was 45 minutes. The wetness of the cake may vary according to the number and size of eggs you use. If they are jumbo eggs, one might do. Like I said, it is a great recipe but needs tinkering with. That's the fun part!

The recipe wasn't too difficult however, it turned out just NASTY! The grits make it taste wierd and the caramel with the peaches made the peaches taste rotten almost. While, I have found many many great recipes on this website and on the network, I will not try this recipe again.

Grits made the cake horrible. I think my oven cooked the cake too quick and made the caramel have a burnt taste.

This recipe looks delicious but...though the cake tasted good the hardness of the grits was very unpleasant. I will not make this again.

I don't understand all the negative reviews. I've made this three times now and each time its gotten rave reviews. It's come out of the pan perfectly each time, leaving the peach skins on makes it a cinch to make up quickly - and mine were perfectly able to be cut with a fork. It's meant to be a not so sweet, slightly crunchy, rustic summer dessert. The only change I made was a little vanilla to the cake batter.

I prefer a softer texture for cake. Next time I will leave out the grits and just add a bit more flour. The cake turned out beautifully, and the peach and caramel flavor was delightful.
