Ingredients

Confectioner’s sugar

For Cake Layer:

1 pkg Moist Supreme Lemon Cake Mix (w pudding)

3 eggs

1 cup water

1/3 cup oil

1 tsp lemon peel

For Ricotta Layer:

15 oz ricotta cheese

1/2 cup sugar

1 tbsp lemon peel

3 eggs

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13" baking pan.
  3. Beat all ingredients of the ricotta layer for 1 min with a whisk until well blended. Set aside.
  4. Mix all ingredients of cake layer until moistened and then beat with mixer or whisk for 2 min.
  5. Pour cake batter into baking pan and spread to level. Pour the ricotta batter across the top of the cake batter and using a spatula, lightly spread to cover the cake layer with the ricotta batter.
  6. Bake for 75 minutes. Top of cake will be darker brown, so to test for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center and expect to come out clean. Remove from oven and place on a rack to cool for over 1 hr.
