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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well-blended and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the chocolate cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 5

Carefully spoon the ricotta mixture on top of the cake batter, spreading it gently to cover. The layers will switch places during baking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack, about 1-2 hours.

Step 8

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).

Step 9

Gently fold the whipped topping into the prepared pudding until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 10

Spread the pudding-whipped topping mixture evenly over the cooled cake, covering it completely.

Step 11

Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set the layers and flavors.

Step 12

Slice, serve chilled, and enjoy your Me Amore Italian Love Cake!
