Outstanding-this cake can be so changed by flavorings and pudding. We had dark chocolate cake-added chocolate chips with milk chocolate frosting. Presentation was white melted chocolate swirled on plate and place 3 fresh strawberries with mint leaves and dusted lightly with powdered sugar. Next to try is add flavor (like hazelnut) to the ricotta cheese. This is an really great recipe

I've been making this cake for Easter dessert for years. There is never any leftover. This year I'm going to do a lemon/lemon combination. You really have a wide variety and thats what makes this cake so special. It's always a hit.
