3 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
For the Butter Cake Layer:
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 box (16 oz) powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare Brownie Layer:
- Prepare the brownie mix according to the package instructions.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Make Pecan Pie Filling:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup, granulated sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Stir in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the pecan pie filling evenly over the brownie layer in the baking dish.
- Make Butter Cake Layer:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the butter cake layer over the pecan pie filling in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. The center should still be slightly gooey.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the baking dish for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the cake to firm up.
- Slice and serve this decadent Brownie Pecan Pie Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. For an extra treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
