Since you are most likely not smoking to the bottom of the bowl, I'm going to assume you primarily smoke aromatic tobaccos. If thats the case then that is the problem with the "weak" cake. The more additives in a tobacco, the more likely one is to have a soft, easily fractured cake. Again, try reaming more and/or switch to a purer tobacco such as a Virginia VaPer or English.
I hope this helps and regardless, enjoy whatever you smoke and imho, don't be too concerned about the cake!
