Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the crust:
In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter, and 2 eggs. Stir until fully blended, then mix in the chopped nuts. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. - Make the topping:
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and 1 large egg, then beat until creamy and well combined. - Assemble the cake:
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust, spreading evenly. - Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set. It should still have a slightly gooey texture.
- Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Be sure to allow the cake to cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
- You can use your favorite cake mix flavor, though vanilla or chocolate works great!
- The texture of the cake should be soft and gooey in the center, similar to a cheesecake.
