This rich butter cake starts out with an ordinary box of yellow cake mix. That is where ordinary ends. This cake is so moist and rich, a little will go a long way. For added praline flavor, crumble some of your favorite flavored pralines on top.

Cake:

1 (18.25-oz) box yellow cake mix
1 egg
1 stick butter; melted

Filling:

1 (8-oz) package cream cheese; softened
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 (16-oz) box powdered sugar
1 stick butter; melted
1 bag (4 oz) Pecanfections; chopped

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 egg, and butter with an electric mixer. Pour into a greased 13" x 9" x-2" baking pan and set aside.

In another mixing bowl, add cream cheese and beat until smooth with an electric mixer. Continue beating while adding the 2 eggs and vanilla. Add powdered sugar and beat well. Reduce the speed and slowly pour in butter and add the chopped Pecanfections.
