Ingredients

Cake Base

1 Box Cake Mix - Any flavor
1 Large Egg
1.5 Sticks Butter - Melted
1 Cup Chopped Pecans - Optional

Cream Cheese Topping

3 Large Eggs
8 Oz Cream Cheese - Softened
1 Tbsp Vanilla
16 Oz Powdered Sugar

Equipment

1 9x13 Pan
2 Large Mixing Bowls
1 Hand or Stand Mixer

Method

Preheat the Oven to 300 degrees

Prepare the Cake Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, 1 beaten egg, and 1 box of cake mix. (Favorite flavors are strawberry or white cake mix). Add the optional pecans, if desired.
Using a large spoon, drop the cake mix batter by spoonfuls in the 9x13 pan, preparing to cover the bottom of the pan.
Spray the back of the large spoon with butter Pam so the cake mix will not stick to the spoon. Press the clumps of cake mix so that it covers the bottom of the pan, like a crust. Set aside.

Prepare the Topping

In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, 3 beaten eggs, and vanilla. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture. Mix for a couple of minutes. The topping will be lumpy.
Pour the cream cheese topping over the cake base in the 9x13 pan.
Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the edges are slightly golden brown.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
