List of Ingredients



• 1 package yellow cake mix
  
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
  
• 1 cup chopped pecans
  
• 4 eggs, divided use
  
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  
• 16 ounces confectioners' sugar
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8-by-11-inch baking pan and set aside.
   
2. In a bowl, mix the cake mix, butter, pecans and 2 eggs with a large spoon.
   
3. Transfer dough to baking pan and use plastic wrap or chill your hand with ice water to press the mixture into the pan, distributing it evenly. It will be very sticky.
   
4. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the remaining 2 eggs. Add the cream cheese. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and lightly mix. It should be slightly lumpy.
   
5. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the cake mixture and use the back of a spoon or spatula to spread it evenly.
   
6. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until dark golden brown. Cool thoroughly, at least 1 hour. Run a knife around the sides of the pan and cut into squares
