Servings:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 dish and set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat cake mix, softened butter, chopped pecans, coconut flakes and eggs. Once combined well, pour into the prepared dish and spread to cover the bottom of the pan.
In another bowl, beat the powdered sugar, cream cheese, egg, and vanilla. Once combined, pour over the crust and bake for 24-26 minutes or until the top has begun to brown.

Recipe Tips.

Do not overbake to keep the top layer soft and gooey.
Let the cake cool before cutting for cleaner slices.
Use parchment paper for easier removal.
Toast pecans slightly for extra flavor.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
This recipe is for the classic Neiman Marcus cake using yellow cake mix. However, you can easily change it up and use any flavor of cake mix. Chocolate cake, red velvet, and carrot cake are all great choices.

Store covered in the fridge for 5-7 days, or wrap tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
