Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • 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.
