Hubs made fun of the name, but he still ate the heck out of this cake. So there. It has a rather heavy texture (the ricotta bakes into the cake portion, which is the reason for this) but that light top layer of cream and pudding evens things out nicely. It tastes a bit like tiramisu, if you're into that sort of thing. Pretty good stuff, and a heck of a lot easier than dipping all those ladyfingers in espresso and laying them out...
Italian Love Cake
(from the lovely Leslie)
Ingredients:
1 box marble cake mix
1 box marble cake mix
1 large container (~2 lb.) ricotta cheese
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 pkg. instant chocolate pudding
1 c. milk
1 container Cool Whip
Prepare marble cake mix according to directions, and pour into a (greased and floured) 9X13 pan.
Mix eggs, cheese, sugar, vanilla and pour over cake mix. Bake 1 hour at 350 F. Cool cake-completely!
Mix pudding mix with 1 cup milk. Beat 3 minutes. Add Cool Whip and spread over cake. Refrigerate cake.
Leslie's note: "I normally make this the day before so its completely set up and cold. "

ReplyDeleteWow, this cake does look like a whole lot of love. And, boy, would I love to be eating it right now. Funny name or not, the cake looks totally delicious, and I seriously wish I could have a slice!
ReplyDeleteI think the name is cute! And an easier way to enjoy the goodness that is tiramisu (even if it's not quite the same)?? I'm very into that.

I love to eat cake, specially when it comes from an italian recipe, due to the fact italians love cake too, so they always try to offer something a quite different, but tasty... I even bought a book called Ciao Italia made by 4rx Cooking Academy, and which contains huge quantity of different recipes to prepare desserts in general.
