I recently baked the Brownie Pecan Pie Ooey Gooey Butter Cake for a family gathering, and it was an instant hit. My relatives couldn’t stop talking about how the combination of rich brownie, sticky pecan pie filling, and smooth ooey gooey butter cake created an unforgettable dessert. Each bite was a perfect blend of textures—from the fudgy brownie base to the crunchy pecans, with the creamy, gooey top that had everyone coming back for more. This dessert was not only delicious but also a crowd-pleaser that disappeared faster than I could imagine. If you’re looking for a sweet treat that will wow your guests, this is definitely one to try!
Ingredients :
For the Brownie Layer:
1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
1 cup chopped pecans
For the Pecan Pie Layer:
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
For the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Layer:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 box yellow cake mix
4 cups powdered sugar
Directions :
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. Prepare the Brownie Layer: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare the brownie batter. Stir in the chopped pecans. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
3. Make the Pecan Pie Layer: In a large bowl, whisk together the light corn syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined. Stir in the chopped pecans. Pour this mixture over the partially baked brownie layer, spreading it evenly.
4. Prepare the Ooey Gooey Butter Cake Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and melted butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gradually add the yellow cake mix and powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
5. Assemble and Bake: Pour the ooey gooey butter cake batter over the pecan pie layer, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set but still slightly gooey.
6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.Enjoy!
