For the Base Layer:
- 1 box 18 oz yellow cake mix
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
For the Creamy Topping:
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 lb powdered sugar
Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, melted butter, an egg, and chopped nuts. Mix well, then press the mixture evenly into a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a firm base.
Make the Cream Cheese Topping: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar, then mix until creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is slightly set. Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting into squares.
