Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chocolate Cake Layer:
  • 1 (15.25 oz) box chocolate fudge cake mix
  • Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (typically eggs, oil, and water)
  • For the Cheesecake Layer:
  • 2 lbs (32 oz) ricotta cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Whipped Topping:
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly.
  • Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package directions. Pour it into the bottom of your prepared pan and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
  • Carefully spoon or pour the ricotta mixture over the top of the chocolate cake batter. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to the edges of the pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. As it cools, the layers will reverse!
  • Once the cake is completely cool, make the topping. In a large bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with the cold milk for 2 minutes. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain.
  • Spread the fluffy chocolate topping evenly over the completely cooled cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best for the flavors to meld perfectly.

Notes

A showstopping yet simple dessert with a light cheesecake-like filling and a decadent chocolate cake base that magically flips layers in the oven.
