"This cake is pure magic! I made it for my parents’ anniversary, and everyone was blown away by the layers and flavor. My dad said, 'This is better than any bakery cake I’ve ever had!'—which is saying a lot coming from him."
Ingredients:
1 box (15.25 ounces) chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
2 pounds ricotta cheese
4 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 box (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 1/2 cups cold milk
1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping
🚨Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Prepare Cake Layer: Mix the chocolate cake batter according to package instructions. Pour it into the prepared dish.
Make Ricotta Layer: In a separate bowl, beat together ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently spoon this mixture over the unbaked chocolate cake batter.
Bake: Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
Make Pudding Topping: Whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Fold in the whipped topping.
Assemble: Spread the pudding mixture over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
Serve: Slice and enjoy this show-stopping dessert!
