Ok. After MUCH anxiety about making this for a Potluck on Wednesday, I decided to give it a try last night (Monday).
I used BETTY CROCKER cake mix and a disposable pan because it seemed larger than my regular 9�13. I made the cake according to the directions and put it in the pan.
I mixed the cheese layer using name brand WHOLE ricotta cheese and poured it over the cake. This is where I started having doubts. I literally poured it, there was no spreading, and it kind of just sank into the cake mix. I thought; �Awww crud! Pinterest Fail on the way!!!� But I held my breath and put my disposable cake pan on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven.
I promised not to look for 30 min unless I smelled burned cake. After 30 minutes I peeked. THE LAYERS HAD SWITCHED!!! The cake pan was at maximum (and then some) capacity though. I tested with a toothpick after another 30 min and it came out clean so I took it out of the oven. It was WAY higher than the pan, but as it cooled it sank back down to almost normal. It�s in the fridge right now mingling the flavors. I will put the Cool Whip/pudding layer on tonight and serve it tomorrow.
I�m calling this one a success .. Good luck! Trust the original recipe!!! Follow it exactly and it will work!
