This recipe comes from my sister-in-law. These taste like the best pecan pie you could ever eat, except you don't need a plate and fork.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix, divided
¼ cup butter, softened
1 egg, lightly beaten
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup dark corn syrup
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch cake pan.
  • Set aside 1 cup cake mix to be used for filling.
  • Mix remaining cake mix, butter, and 1 lightly beaten egg together in a bowl until crumbly; press into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, about 12 minutes.
