Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor of your choice)
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
- Make the Cake Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and two eggs. Mix until a thick batter forms. Fold in the chopped nuts to add a delightful crunch. Spread this batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: In another mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and one egg until smooth and creamy. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter, spreading it evenly across the pan.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden. Keep in mind that the center should remain a bit soft to achieve the cake’s signature gooey texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing. For an extra touch of sweetness, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
