Ricotta Cake

Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz) yellow cake mix, plus ingredients for preparation
• 16 oz ricotta cheese
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• powdered sugar, for dusting

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, prepare cake batter following directions on the package. Transfer batter to the prepared baking dish.
3. In another bowl, combine ricotta, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
4. Spoon the ricotta mixture over the cake. Don’t worry about it being exactly evenly spread as it will sink to form the bottom layer.
5. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
6. Allow cake to cool and dust with powdered sugar before slicing.
