How to Make Italian Love Cake
Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Mix the Cake Layer
Prepare the chocolate cake batter following the instructions on the package. Pour it evenly into the prepared pan.
Create the Ricotta Layer
In a separate bowl, blend ricotta, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Gently spoon this mixture over the cake batter — don’t stir or mix them together.
Bake
Bake the layered cake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely.
Prepare the Topping
Whisk the pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens. Fold in the whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
Assemble and Chill
Spread the pudding mixture over the cooled cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours — overnight is even better for best flavor and texture.
Pro Tip:
This cake is even better the next day as the layers have time to fully settle and the flavors meld together. It slices beautifully and makes for an impressive presentation with minimal effort.
