Ingredients For the Cake Base: 1 box yellow cake mix ½ cup unsalted butter, melted 2 large eggs For the Gooey Pecan Topping: 8 oz cream cheese, softened 2 large eggs ½ cup unsalted butter, melted 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3½ cups powdered sugar 1 cup chopped pecans ¼ teaspoon salt Directions Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9 × 13-inch baking pan. Make the cake base: In a large bowl, mix the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and 2 eggs until a thick dough forms. Press into the pan: Spread the cake mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan. Prepare the creamy topping: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the remaining 2 eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until creamy. Add the sweetness: Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the topping is thick and smooth. Fold in the pecans: Stir in the chopped pecans, saving a small handful to sprinkle over the top if desired. Assemble the cake: Pour the gooey topping over the cake base and spread it gently to the edges. Bake: Bake for 40–50 minutes, until the edges are golden and set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Avoid overbaking if you want that signature gooey texture. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool completely before slicing so the gooey center can set. Sprinkle with extra pecans or a little powdered sugar for a festive finish. #countdowntoholidays🦃🎅🏻🎄👻 #followmydailyrecipes #phototrend #EasyRecipes - @315justme
