Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
- 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Prepare Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs until a thick batter forms.
- Add Nuts: Fold in the chopped nuts.
- Spread Batter: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and egg until smooth and creamy.
- Add Cream Cheese Layer: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter in the pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden. The center should still be a bit soft to give the cake its rich, gooey texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing. Serve as is or top with a dusting of powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Notes
- You can substitute the nuts with chocolate chips or leave them out if preferred.
- This cake has a gooey center, so it may look slightly underdone but will firm up as it cools.
