Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1.25 cups water
- 32 ounces ricotta cheese
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 cups cold milk
- 8 ounces whipped topping
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water in a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
In another bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well-blended and creamy.
Pour the chocolate cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Carefully spoon the ricotta mixture on top of the cake batter, spreading it gently to cover. The layers will switch places during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack, about 1-2 hours.
Prepare the pudding topping: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes and cold milk until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
Gently fold the whipped topping into the prepared pudding until fully incorporated and smooth.
Spread the pudding-whipped topping mixture evenly over the cooled cake, covering it completely.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set the layers and flavors.
Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy your Me Amore Italian Love Cake!
