I loved this recipe, but the top got too brown and the nuts burned. Has anyone tried this and baked for just one hour?

Ruth, try adding the cake mix and nuts after the cake has baked 1/2 hour or you can try covering the cake with foil then removing the foil the last 30 minutes hope this helps

Ruth, also wanted to add you can simply reduce your baking temperature to 325°F. This should solve the problem. I use a very similar recipe but bake it at 325°F and it comes out great.

I have made and shared this recipe, everyone loves it. I do a little something different though..... I put a sprinkle of dark brown sugar on top of nuts and then I put on butter last. This makes the top almost toffee like... Yum! I think it is great cut into squares as a brunch item. I like serving it with unsweetened whipped cream or creme fraiche because it is already so sweet.
