    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Melt butter. Mix butter, one egg, cake mix and nuts. I use walnuts or pecans. This will be the consistency of pastry. Press into a 9x13 inch greased pan.

    Mix powdered sugar, two eggs and cream cheese. Pour over bottom layer and bake until lightly golden brown.
