ITALIAN LOVE CAKE



Italian Love Cake image

Oh my goodness... there is a lot of yumminess in this cake. It's cool and creamy but rich at the same time. The ricotta mixture that bakes on top of this cake really makes this special. It changes the entire texture of the cake, making it almost like a less dense cheesecake. Light and fluffy, the pudding topping is tasty and not...

Time 1h20m

Yield 20 , 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (15 ounce) package chocolate cake mix (Chocolate Fudge, Devil's Food or even Marble)
plus ingredients needed on box to make cake
2 (15 ounce) containers part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup milk
1 (12 ounce) container whipped topping (thawed)

Steps:

  • Prepare cake mix as directed on box.
  • Pour batter into lightly greased 9 x 13 pan and set aside.
  • Combine Ricotta, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Blend well.
  • Pour on top of the chocolate cake mix. It's ok if it doesn't flow to the sides of the pan, as it will distribute evenly after baking.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes.
  • Blend the pudding mix and milk until thick, and then fold in the whipped topping.
  • COMPLETELY COOL the cake. You can either spread the pudding mix on top and serve, or dollop some of the chocolate "mousse" on top of each piece served.
  • **I used 1% milk, part skim ricotta and sugar free whipped topping and it was fantastic. You may use full fat everything and I'm sure it would be even more rich and lovely**.
  • **Great thing for kids to make and watch bake in oven, as the chocolate cake will envelope the ricotta cheese mixture, after you cut it, the ricotta cheese will be in the center of the cake**.

ITALIAN LOVE CAKE



Italian Love Cake image

Italian Love Cake, or as Valerie Bertinelli calls it, Sicilian Love Cake, is a fun cake made with cake mix, ricotta cheese and pudding mix.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 15.25 oz package Betty Crocker Super Moist Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
1 1/4 cups water
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 32 oz container whole milk ricotta cheese
4 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla (or vanilla bean paste)
1 3.8 oz. package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup cold whole milk
2 8 oz containers whipped topping**

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F if using a metal pan and 325 degrees F if using a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. I used 325 and a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. Grease bottom of the pan (or dish).
  • In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix as directed on package. In this case that would be Betty Crocker Super Moist, so you mix the mix, water, eggs and oil and beat for 2 minutes. Pour into the baking pan.
  • In another bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Spoon or pour the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter.
  • Bake the cake at 350 for 1 hour or 325 for 1 hour and 5 minutes(if using a glass dish) or until the cake seems firm to touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  • To make the topping, whisk together the pudding mix and milk. Fold the whipped topping into the pudding, then spread all over the cake. Cover and chill overnight (or for at least 4 hours minimum).
