Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 32 ounces of ricotta cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cans cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions, then pour the batter into the prepared dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until well blended. Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cake batter.
- Bake the cheesecake for about 1 hour, or until the center springs back when lightly pressed. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Top the cooled cake with cherry pie filling, then cover and refrigerate until fully chilled. Serve cold.
Notes
Ensure the ricotta cheese is well-drained before mixing to avoid excess moisture.
For added flavor, consider adding lemon zest to the ricotta mixture.
This cheesecake can be prepared a day in advance for convenient serving.
