Ingredients

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs until smooth. Set aside.
3. Make the filling: In another large bowl, combine ricotta, eggs, sugar, and vanilla, mixing until well blended.
4. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Spoon the filling on top—it will sink slightly as the cake bakes.
5. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before adding the topping.
6. Prepare the topping: In a large bowl, whisk the pudding mix and milk for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
7. Spread the topping evenly over the cooled cake and refrigerate until ready to serve.a
