Ricotta Cake Recipe

So the other day the store near my home had this sale on Ricotta Cheese... so I got few tabs of it and then I had no idea what to make with it...
I googled "ricotta cake" and lots of different recipes came back, the one that I am sharing, is the one that looked the easiest, fastest and the healthiest (I am trying to keep the calories to a minimum this days) since it only has 4 tablespoons of sugar.
I cooked last night and let me tell you... it was great!
So here is what you will need:
1 yellow cake mix
2lbs. ricotta cheese
3 eggs
4 tlbs. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tlb cinnamon
1tlb sugar

And this is how you'll make it:

Prepare cake as directed on box, in a large bowl mix ricotta, eggs, 4 tbls of sugar, and vanilla until nice and smooth. Grease and line with wax paper a 9x13 pan and then pour cake mix into it . Carefully pour cheese mixture on top of the cake.
Mix the remanding sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top (more or less maybe used ) of the cake.
Bake 350 degrees for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. (it may take a bit less, depending of your oven).
Let the cake cool and then invert onto serving dish
take off wax paper
enjoy
