This weekend my boyfriend decided to bake a ricotta cake, and kindly documented the process for my blog! He delivered a piece of it to me last night and I can’t get over how light and fluffy it was! This cake is perfect for Easter Sunday and I can’t wait to share it with you all. Let’s get to the recipe…
Ingredients:
1 package of yellow Duncan Hines cake mix
2 lb.ricotta cheese
4 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp.vanilla extract
½ tsp.nutmeg
Confectioners sugar to sprinkle on top
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and prepare a greased and floured cake pan. Using the directions on the Duncan Hines cake box, prepare the cake batter as instructed.
- In a different bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, vanilla extract and sugar, mixing thoroughly.
- Pour the Duncan Hines cake batter into your pan, and spoon in the ricotta mixture overtop the batter.
- Bake the cake for 55-60 minutes and when cooled, sprinkle confectioners sugar on top.
- Serve and enjoy!
Like I previously said, this cake is perfect for Easter. If you are running out of ideas for dessert, this cake is the perfect solution! If I were to bake this cake, I would serve it strawberry shortcake style, with berries and whipped cream. This cake is so simple, you can serve it whatever way you like, or just the way it is. So what are you waiting for…get baking!!
