Gooey Pecan Cake Bars

Created by KittenCal on November 5, 2011

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
Step 2: Set aside 1 cup of cake mix for the filling.
Step 3: 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: Transfer into prepared pan, then with lightly floured hands press lightly and evenly into bottom of pan to form a crust (don’t pack crust down to hard).
Step 5: Bake the crust for 12 minutes (don’t over bake).
Step 6: Meanwhile for filling, in a medium bowl, combine the second mixture of eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla.
Step 7: Add the reserved 1 cup of cake mixture; stir with a fork, just until blended (do not beat, some tiny clumps will remain thats okay!).
Step 8: Spread filling evenly over baked crust; sprinkle evenly with pecans.
Step 9: Bake 25-30 minutes or until the filling appears set when pan is gently shaken; cool completely on wire rack.
Step 10: Cut into bars.
