Smash Cake


This is ALWAYS a hit...

a.k.a. Chess Squares

Ingredients:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1/2 c. chopped pecans
  • 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 (1 lb.) box powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla or 1 tsp. coconut flavoring and 1 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
  1. Mix pecans, cake mix, 2 beaten eggs, and softened butter.
  2. Crumble into a 9x12x2 inch pan, pressing evenly into the bottom.
  3. Mix cream cheese, 2 beaten eggs, powdered sugar and flavoring.
  4. Pour over top of cake mixture.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
  6. Serves 8 to 10.
It's rich, so I'd say cut into about 16-20 small squares, rather than the 8-10 recommended servings.
