Ingredients
  

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 2 pounds ricotta cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1½ cups cold milk
  • 1 container whipped topping

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • Prepare the chocolate cake batter as directed on the box. Pour it into the greased dish, spreading evenly.
  • Beat ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently spoon over the cake batter without mixing.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
  • Whisk the pudding mix with cold milk until thick, about 2 minutes. Fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
  • Spread the pudding mixture over the cooled cake, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
