Cook's Illustrated had a recipe for a lemon cream cheese coffee cake and it looked like a good opportunity to keep working with the new-to-us Kitchen Aid Pro. I am not sure what happened, but things didn't turn out quite like the photo in the magazine. After waiting an hour for the cake to cool down, I turned it over to take it out of the tube pan, whereupon it immediately dropped and flopped!
It tastes okay (anything with sweetened cream cheese stands a really good chance of tasting good), but the texture of the cake is odd. More like a super-moist muffin than a cake. I usually climb back on the horse right after making a dud, but I dunno if this one is worth trying again. Oh well, learning to cook well involves eating a lot of your own mistakes...and I am a little tired of eating this one!
David takes all responsibility for this kitchen disaster; Jill played no part beyond wide eyes, "oh my"'s, "what happened?!?!?!" and "you'll do better next time."
