Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

Ricotta Mixture

  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  2. Prepare Ricotta Mixture: In another bowl, blend ricotta cheese, sugar, and eggs until well combined and creamy.
  3. Prepare Chocolate Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until thickened.
  4. Layer the Cake: Pour half of the cake batter evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon half of the ricotta mixture over the batter. Gently spread half of the chocolate pudding over the ricotta layer. Repeat the layers in the same order ending with pudding.
  5. Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the layered cake for 50-60 minutes or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. The layers will be creamy and moist, offering a delicious taste of Italian-inspired love in each bite.

Notes

  • Use full-fat ricotta for best texture and flavor.
  • Make sure not to overmix the cake batter once combined to keep it light and fluffy.
  • For an extra touch, dust the top with powdered sugar or garnish with fresh berries before serving.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
