Ingredients
- 1 box, 16.5 oz devil's food cake mix + ingredients called for on box
- 1 container, 32 oz container part-skim ricotta
- 2 containers, 8 oz each mascarpone, divided
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 box, 3.4 oz instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Set aside.
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour the cake batter into the greased baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the ricotta and 4 oz of mascarpone cheese on low speed until fully combined. Add sugar and vanilla extract and mix well. Add eggs and beat until just combined. Spread the ricotta mixture over the cake batter in the baking dish.
- Bake 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake layer will rise to the top. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
- When the cake is cool, make the topping. In a medium bowl, beat the remaining 12 oz mascarpone on medium speed until it is smooth. Slowly add the milk and mix well. Add the pudding mix and beat for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and thick. Spread over cooled cake.
