1/2 c. butter or margarine, melted
1 egg
1 c. chopped pecans

FILLING:
2/3 c. cake mix

Combine dry cake mix in large mixing bowl with melted butter and 1 egg. Mix until crumbly. Press mixture into generously greased (bottom and sides) 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes until light golden brown. Meanwhile, prepare filling. Combine all filling ingredients in large mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes. When the cake has baked for 15-20 minutes, remove from oven and pour filling over partially baked crust. Sprinkle with pecans. Return pan to oven.
