I’ve head of the cookie but never the cake. I think it looks delicious!

Love Neiman Marcus and any cake named after it would have to be grand.

Your cake is perfect. It is meant to fall. It always does this if you do it right.

@”A Gay” I was only saving you from yourself, or should say your waistline, this thing does have half a pound of cream cheese and a pound of sugar.

I feel honored (honoured). I never got any to taste, though. Next time?

Next time try the American Eagle torte…j’dore!

I’m always careful about baking in the heat. If I’m doing breads I keep it warm. Sweet things like cake and cookies I crank the AC to almost uncomfortably cold.

But for real, it looks yummy.

@Alex, you always tickle me pink!

The eggs were room temperature, the cream cheese was bought from the fridge but I did leave it on my stoop for a half hour to soften up and the cake mix appeared fresh from the shelves of Whole Foods.

The AC was working at the time I baked this thing. It failed a day later!

I think it’s going to come down to temperatures on this. How hot was your apartment? Humidity levels? Was the cream cheese cold or room temp? Same for the eggs? It looks good, and doesn’t seem like you overbeat the cake batter. The unknown could be how old the box cake mix was, and if the leaveing agents in there went manky.

Could you reattempt with a homemade cake? And then bring it to me in bed on a Saturday morning to taste?

After Christmas, Neiman Marcus has a sale and my mom and her sisters always buy up the sweets because they are so delicious. They have these boxes little cakes that were soaked in rum and taste so good.

This looks better. I’ll try to make it for my mom when I head back to California next month.
