Ingredients
| Component | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| Cake Batter | 1 (13.25 oz) chocolate cake mix |
| 1 cup water | |
| ½ cup vegetable oil | |
| 3 eggs | |
| Filling | 32 oz ricotta cheese |
| 4 eggs | |
| ⅔ cup granulated sugar | |
| 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract | |
| Topping | 1 (5.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix |
| 1 ½ cups chilled milk | |
| 1 (16 oz) frozen whipped topping |
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs until smooth. Set aside.
- Make the filling: In another large bowl, combine ricotta, eggs, sugar, and vanilla, mixing until well blended.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the filling on top—it will sink slightly as the cake bakes.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before adding the topping.
- Prepare the topping: In a large bowl, whisk the pudding mix and milk for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
- Spread the topping evenly over the cooled cake and refrigerate until ready to serve.a
