| 1. For The Cake: | 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees*. | 3. Grease and flour a 12x15x3 cake pan. | 4. Prepare the cake according to the package instructions; using the 3 eggs and vegetable oil. | 5. Pour the cake mix into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and set aside. | 6. SPECIAL TIP: If desired, mix cake batter using 1 cup water and 1/4 cup Anisette, Limoncello, Frangelico or other liqueur in place of the 1 1/4 cups of water as called for on the package directions. | 7. With a mixer on medium speed, beat the remaining eggs; add the ricotta cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat until sooth and fluffy. | 8. Carefully pour over the middle of the cake mix. DO NOT SPREAD OR BLEND THE TWO BATTERS TOGETHER. | 9. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. (Ricotta cheese will go to the bottom.) | 10. Remove from the oven; cool in pan on baker's rack. | 11. For The Topping: | 12. In a food processor or blender, blend the first 5 ingredients together. | 13. Add chilled butter cubes; cut in until the mixture looks like wet sand. | 14. To Finish Off The Cake: | 15. Cool cake until warm, about 1 hour. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar crumbles over the cake. | 16. Serve with vanilla ice cream or gelato and a cup of steaming espresso. "That's Amore' !". | 17. ______________________________________________________________. | 18. TO DRAIN RICOTTA CHEESE: Wrap ricotta in a double layer of cheesecloth. Place in a colander, weighed down with 2 or 3 soup-like cans from your pantry. Drain over a bowl in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. | 19. *NOTE: If using a glass baking dish or disposable foil pan, bake at 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
