Let’s get started! Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease two 9 inch round cake pans with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, prepare cake mix according to instructions on box.
Evenly divide cake mixture between the two greased cake pans, set aside. In another large bowl, beat together the ricotta, sugar and 3 eggs.
Evenly split the ricotta mixture between to the two cake pans. Pour the mixture into the middle of the pans. Bake for 50 – 60 minutes. I baked mine for 50 minutes and they were perfect. It really depends on your oven and pans, check for doneness with a toothpick.
Transfer to cooling racks. Let cool for 15 minutes and then flip out of the pan. Generously sprinkle with powdered sugar. Slice and serve.
