    • 2 Large eggs
    • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  • Prepare the Brownie Layer:

    • Spread the brownie batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.

    • Carefully spread the butter cake batter over the pecan pie filling layer, covering it evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  • Slice and serve, enjoying the rich layers of brownie, pecan pie, and buttery cake in every bite.
