Pecan Pie Dump Cake, the house smells like the holidays

Introduce the recipe for pecan pie dump cake.

Mention that the pecans are sponsored by the Pecan Pantry and are fresh.

Break up 2 cups of pecans into large chunks and add them to a mixing bowl without roasting them.

Crack 4 eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together.

Add 1/4 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar to the eggs and mix.

Pour in 1 cup of light corn syrup and whisk it in, using a sprayed measuring cup for easy pouring.

Add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then mix again.

Melt 5 tablespoons of butter and add it to the mixture, followed by 1 tablespoon of corn starch, mixing well.

Add the pecans to a 9x13 dish, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Pour the egg and syrup mixture over the pecans, stirring gently to avoid disturbing them.

Sprinkle the 15.25 oz yellow cake mix evenly over the top of the mixture in the dish.
