How to Make Ricotta Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. Prepare your favorite white cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 15 ounces (425g) of ricotta cheese, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture evenly over the cake batter in the pan. Space them as closely together as possible.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes. Then, sprinkle with a mixture of 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  7. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely before serving. The ricotta will settle on the bottom, creating a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
  9. Enjoy your incredibly moist and delicious ricotta cake!
