Pecan Pie Cake


 Doris Barling gave me this recipe in the early 80s.  It tastes like pecan pie,  cuts in squares like brownies.  It’s a really easy thing to make and carry with you somewhere.  And always a hit!

For the crust: 

one yellow cake mix 

1/3 cup oil 

one egg

Grease the baking pan and press the mixture into the bottom. Sometimes I use a 9x13 pan, today I used a jelly roll pan which is a bit bigger but more shallow.  


Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. 


While it is baking mix together:
1 cup white Karo syrup
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups chopped pecans (I toast mine first)

Pour over the half baked crust and return to oven for 40-45 minutes 







Doris was a fabulous cook.  Every time I did her hair, we talked recipes.  I have several she gave me but this one is the most often used.
