italian love cake

Italian Love Cake is an Italian cake that America has fallen in love with. This is a ricotta base, chocolate cake layer and then topped with a chocolate pudding whipped topping. A must make layered cake.

Italian Love Cake

ricotta cheese

granulated sugar

vanilla extract

eggs (room temperature)

chocolate

water

eggs

instant chocolate pudding

milk (cold)

whipped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then grease your 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Set it to the side.

Grab an electric mixer and add your ricotta cheese, sugar, and vanilla into a mixing bowl. Mix for a few minutes until smooth, then slowly work in the eggs.

Ricotta Layer

In a medium bowl you can mix up the cake mix, oil water and eggs. Whisk well and make sure the batter is smooth.

Pour the cake batter into the pan.

Then carefully pour the ricotta mixture over the chocolate. Make sure to pour it all over the cake.

Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the cake is fully baked all the way through. The cake will be a little jiggly in the center.

Once the cake is done, cool to room temperature.

Chocolate Cake

In a bowl you will add your pudding, and milk. Mix well until it is fully mixed.

Allow the pudding to rest for 2-3 minutes.

Then fold in the whipped topping.

Spread the frosting over the cake once it is cooled. Then cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or until you are ready to serve.

Chocolate Pudding Frosting

You're Italian Love cake sounds delicious. So I have wanted to make this for family. 
But the pictures you have of it, shows the Ricotta layer on the bottom. And the cake in the center. But the directions you have says to put the chocolate cake layer on the bottom, not the cheese!? So I'm confused as to which way I'm suppose to go with to start my dessert.????

This Italian Love Cake is like no other cake. It is so unique with incredible layers of flavor. This cake is guaranteed to be a hit!

chocolate cake mix

ingredients to make the cake: eggs, oil and water

sugar

milk

large tub whipped topping (Cool Whip)

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray (I like the kind that has flour in it, like Baker’s Joy).

Prepare 1 box&#32;chocolate cake mix with ingredients to make the cake: eggs, oil and water per the instructions on the back of the box and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

Using an electric hand mixer, mix the 32 ounce&#32;container ricotta cheese, 4&#32;large eggs, 3/4 cup&#32;granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon&#32;vanilla extract in a large bowl until the mixture becomes smooth.

Spoon the ricotta mixture on top of the cake batter in the baking dish.

Bake the cake for about 1 hour and then place it on a wire rack to cool completely.

In a large bowl, pour 1 ½ cups&#32;cold milk and gradually add the 5.9 ounce&#32;box instant chocolate pudding mix while mixing it thoroughly.

Add half of the 16 ounces&#32;large tub whipped topping (Cool Whip) and mix it in well. Then add the remaining whipped topping and mix it until it is well combined with no streaks.

Smooth the topping on top of the cake evenly.

Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Slice the cake and serve.

This cake was absolutely amazing! I wasn't sure about the ricotta but it ended up being perfect and I came home with an empty tray! I had so many people asking for the recipe. My husband couldn't believe it was made with ricotta!

I used King Arthur gluten-free cake mix which I didn't realize was thicker than I regular box cake mix.  unfortunately the cake mix did not cover the cheese layer. the cake batter just came up around the sides of the cheese and the cheese is still in the middle. hopefully it will still taste okay! warning do not use gluten-free cake mix unless you thin it down a bit!

My girlfriend mentioned she loved this cake when she was scrolling through Pinterest so I decided to make it for you. It turned out fantastic. I do not bake so I was really worried I couldn't do it. Your directions and video all helped me out so much. It turned out looking exactly like yours and she loved it. Thank you very much. I will definitely spoil her and make more of your recipes.

Made it for my wife’s birthday. Im not a great baker but it turned out great

Love this cake! It was a hit - thank you!
