Another favorite Nonnie recipe! I would watch Nonnie make this too! Mel loves this!

Mix together in mixing bowl:

Sprinkle 1/2 mixture on top of batter. Pour and spread remaining batter over filling. With remaining filling, add 1 cup chopped nuts. Sprinkle over top of batter. Pour 1/2 cup melted butter over entire cake and bake at 350° for 30-40 min until cake loosens from edge of pan.
