Comfort Desserts, Side Dish Recipes | 0 comments

Another family favorite: You get a cereal bowl, you take a square of cake. You slice the cake square in half crosswise and lay the halves in the bowl, cut side up. You spread butter over both halves and then top it all off with corn syrup. You eat it. You enjoy!

Notes

We always had this as a dessert, but (minus the corn syrup) corn bread is often served with chili as a side dish. It is also tasty topped with liquid honey instead of corn syrup.
