Ingredients

  • 1 box spice or butter pecan cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cup sticks unsalted butter melted and divided into a 1/2 each
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese softened
  • 16 ounces powdered sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans or nut of your choice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Lightly grease a 9x13 baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl mix the cake mix, one egg and 1/2 cup of melted butter (that's one stick melted).
  • Stir to combine, it will be thick.
  • Using wet fingertips, spread the cake mix evenly over the bottom of the pan. You may have to wet your fingers several times to get it in there evenly.
  • In a small bowl mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, 2 eggs and remaining 1/2 cup melted butter with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Stir in the pecans.
  • Spread over the cake mix.
  • Bake 45-50 minutes, tenting your pan lightly with foil after about 35 minutes. The top will brown slightly.
  • Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting slices.
