For the Cake Base

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with melted butter.
  2. Combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and room-temperature egg in a large mixing bowl. Stir until a thick dough forms, about 2-3 minutes. Press mixture into the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over the cake base.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually mix in sifted powdered sugar, followed by eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Pour the creamy filling over the pecan-topped cake base and spread evenly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until edges are golden brown and center jiggles slightly.
  7. Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.
