Ingredients: Cake Base
15.25 oz white cake mix
1¼ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
4 egg whites
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
Frosting
1½ cups Ricotta cheese
1½ cups Mascarpone cheese
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
¼ tsp pure almond extract
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
¼ tsp ground cinnamon, opt
1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
1 Tbsp powdered sugar, opt for dusting
Preheat oven to 350*. Spray 9×13 baking dish with nonstick baking spray.
Add dry cake mix, water, vegetable oil & egg whites to (2-3 qt) mixing bowl. Mix with a handheld mixer until well combined.
Pour cake batter into prepared baking dish. Bake 23-25 min until toothpick inserted comes clean. Use either back of a wooden spoon to poke holes about 1 inch apart.
Immediately drizzle ¾ cup of the sweetened condensed milk into holes of cake and over entire surface. Carefully use a spoon or offset spatula to smooth the sweetened condensed milk over cake. Chill, uncovered, in refrigerator for 30 min until completely cooled.
Using stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment or handheld mixer on med-high speed, mix together ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, ½ cup sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, almond extract, and optional ground cinnamon. Mix just until well combined. It is very important not to overmix, as mascarpone cheese can become watery. Beat just until the mixture is smooth. Lower mixer speed to low, and add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing just until incorporated.

Notes: We recommend using high-quality dairy ingredients like whole milk ricotta and mascarpone cheese for a rich, creamy texture.
We like using Baker’s Joy Baking Spray because it contains flour for extra security so that your cake won’t stick to the pan.
Ensure there are no lumps in the cake batter, as a smooth batter will help ensure you cake bakes up evenly.
If the ricotta cheese is watery, strain it through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer before mixing. This will help achieve a smoother frosting
