Ingredients

• 1 (18.25 ounce) box fudge marble cake mix*
• 2 pounds ricotta cheese
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (3 3/4 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding
• 1 cup milk
• 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping

Instructions

1. Mix cake as directed on box. Pour into greased and floured** 9 x 13-inch pan.
2. In separate bowl, combine ricotta, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract; mix well. Spoon over top of unbaked cake.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Cool.
4. Mix pudding with milk; fold in whipped topping. Spread over cake; refrigerate.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
