This cake is absolutely wonderful..not too overly sweet, just right. I had it at my cousins at Christmas and everyone was begging for the recipe. THE only DIFFERENCE was that she used a FUDGE MARBLE CAKE MIX instead of all chocolate. I have one cooling in my fridge right now to take to a church New Years party. I do think the marble is better and looks neater than all chocolate.

This is a richly delicious and impressive cake. Even though it got rave reviews from the people who ate it, I thought the ricotta cheese part was too wet. Next time I will decrease the eggs to 3 instead of 4 and drain the excess liquid from the ricotta cheese before mixing. The pudding/whipped topping icing tasted like chocolate mousse! Yum! Yum! I will make this again.

This was a good cake. It wasn't very sweet. Half the party loved it the other half wasn't overly impressed. But it was easy to make and very good. Thank you!

This was a big hit with me because it was easy to make. It was a big hit with my husband and coworkers because it was so delicious. I'll be making this one again.

Very good, the ricotta layer sinks and divides the chocolate cake into two layers. Its makes a great looking presentation. Next time I'll use real cream in the icing.

I made this recipe several times and found that the quality of the cake mix makes all the difference - some of them are just better-tasting than others (I personally liked Betty Crocker German Chocolate). At first I was concerned that the cake will not bake through, but during the baking ricotta layer sinks into the cake-mix layer and in fact the cake comes out with the chocolate layer on top. Once I made a half of the recipe in 8x8 form with about 3/4 of the ricotta and it also was good, just a bit dryer (which some might even prefer). Most of all I like the frosting idea and have even used it on other cakes and desserts. Thanks Rene!

This cake was okay, but I was really dissapointed with this cake, after all the other wonderful reviews. I think I was expecting the cheese layer to be more like cream cheese than ricotta cheese. The kids didn't like it much either.

I didn't care for this one. The ricotta cheese takes away from the sweetness of the cake, plus it gave it a strange texture.

This is an awesome recipe!! I run a large retirement community for seniors and once a month we have a bake sale and bake competition. Normally, I just bring cookies --boring-- then I found this recipe- I should have made 3 cakes- and I won the competition! My seniors ate this cake like it was going out of style!

WOW!!! This is GREAT! So easy to make and so good. The ricotta cheese is not too rich and a perfect addition. The frosting is an amazing idea! Not too sugary and so versatile. I could see using it on many different cakes and pies. I used non fat milk and light whipped topping and you would never know! Everyone raved about the cake, ate all of it and asked for the recipe, what more could you ask for. Thank you Rene for a truly wonderful cake recipe!

I made this for a dinner party and I cannot tell you how much everyone loved it! It is certainly a cake that looks a lot harder to make than it really is. The only thing I changed was I used fresh whipping cream instead of the cool whip.

This cake is absolutely beautiful in presentation! The flavor is unexpected, not sweet at all. You really can't taste the cheese. Make sure cake is completely cool before frosting w/CoolWhip and Pudding. Will make again. This is a "chick" cake. Ginny
