Neiman Marcus Cake Recipe
Neiman Marcus Cake is a two-layer dessert consisting of a dense yet tender cake base made with yellow cake mix, eggs, and butter, topped with a smooth and creamy layer of sweetened cream cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 4 eggs, divided
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, 2 eggs, butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined—the batter should be thick and stiff.
- Make sure the batter is spread evenly across the baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, and the remaining 2 eggs until smooth.
- This mixture should be poured over the cake batter and spread evenly.
- In a preheated oven, bake the cake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
