How to Make Ricotta Cheese Filled Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
Prepare your boxed cake mix according to package directions.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 15 ounces of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs (beaten), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gently pour the ricotta filling over the cake batter. Use a knife or spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring it's distributed across the top.
Do not mix the batter and filling. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
