For the cake crust: in a large mixing bowl combine the remaining cake mix with soft butter and one slightly beaten egg; stir with a fork until crumbly.
Step 4

Meanwhile for filling, in a medium bowl, combine the second mixture of eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla.

Step 8
Spread filling evenly over baked crust; sprinkle evenly with pecans.
