Neiman Marcus Cake

Allrecipes' most viral dessert of 2025 - a gooey, buttery 9x13 cake with a yellow cake mix base and a cream cheese-powdered sugar topping. Just 6 ingredients and pure heaven in a pan.

Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 oz) package yellow cake mix
  • 4 eggs, divided
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  2. Combine the yellow cake mix, 2 eggs, melted butter, and vanilla in a large bowl and mix well until a stiff batter forms. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, and remaining 2 eggs; mix well until smooth. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Do not over-bake - the center should still be slightly soft.
  5. Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
