Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, mix together cake batter according to package instructions. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread to fill the pan evenly. Set aside (do NOT bake yet).

Step 2

In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Carefully pour the cheese mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter. Spread to cover cake as best you can (the layers will switch during baking). Bake the cake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.

Step 4

To make frosting, whisk together pudding mix and milk until combined and slightly thickened (about 1-2 minutes). Carefully fold the whipped topping into the pudding until combined.

Step 5

Spread frosting on top of cooled cake. Add sprinkles if desired. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours before slicing and serving.
