In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend cake mix, 1 egg, and melted butter until smooth. 

Reserve ⅔ cup of this batter and set aside. Spread remaining batter in an ungreased 13-inch by 9-inch by 2-inch baking dish. 

Bake at 325 degrees (F) for 15 minutes, until light brown and puffy. 

Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes. 

In the mixing bowl, beat together reserved ⅔ cup batter, 3 eggs, light corn syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla. 

Stir in pecans. 

Pour filling on top of crust and bake at 325 degrees (F) for 40 to 45 minutes, until brown on the edges and set in the center.
