Love Cake Recipe

This Love Cake is a marbled fudge and cheese cake with a creamy chocolate topping, it has all the goodness of a chocolate éclair. Quick and easy, making this Love Cake perfect for a special occasion without spending all day baking and preparing.

Preheat oven, grease and flour pan.

Prepare cake batter as directed on box and pour into prepared pan.

In separate bowl, combine ricotta cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla; mix well. Spoon over unbaked cake batter.
Bake the love cake at 350 for an hour. Cool the cake for 15 minutes, removed it from the baking pan onto a serving platter, covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated over night to set before frosting.

(The bottom of the Love Cake looks a little "wet" from the filling sinking through the cake, it does evaporate while refrigerating and just leaves the cake moist....not soggy at all!!)

To make icing, mix instant pudding with milk; fold in the whipped topping. Spread over cake, decorate with cherries and candy sprinkles; refrigerate the finished Love Cake until ready to serve.



This cake is very different and delicious! You can make it "light" by using fat-free ricotta cheese, Lite Cool Whip and skim milk. The ricotta filling sinks to the middle of the cake as it bakes and gives it a "layered" look. The frosting is light and delicious like chocolate mousse. Shaved dark chocolate and white chocolate adds a little flair to your finished Love Cake.
