Preparation
Step 1

Melt butter over medium high heat. In a large bowl, mix yellow cake mix, 1 egg and melted butter. Pat 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of a prepared 9x13 pan and bake for 10-15 minutes at 350°.
Step 2

As the crust bakes, use a hand mixer to combine the reserved 1/3 of batter mixture, the remaining 3 eggs, the corn syrup, sugar and vanilla. Stir in the pecans. Pour this mixture over the partially baked crust.
Step 3

Bake in a 350° oven for 30 minutes, or until the cake is set. Let cool, then cut into bars.
