Chess cake? Did you bake a cake that looks like a chess board, or like chess pieces? That must have taken a lot of work. PICs?
I dont know why its called "chess" cake. Its my mom's recipe, and SO easy to make. I could take a pic, but it just looks golden. Maybe if I have time I'll take a couple pics tonight when I cut it up.
Its basically Duncan yellow cake mix, mixed with an egg and a stick of butter, and patted out in a pan, thats your base. Then mix 2 eggs, cream cheese, vanilla, and a box of confection sugar, spread that over the base. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. I "think" thats right, I dont have the recipe in front of me.
