Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Delectable Neapolitan Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three round cake pans by greasing or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth, then pour into the dry ingredients.
  4. Divide the batter into three bowls, mixing melted chocolate into one, pureed strawberries into another, and leaving the last as plain vanilla.
  5. Pour each flavor into prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops, and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the layers to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  7. Once cooled, assemble by layering frosting between each cake layer and covering the top and sides of the cake.
  8. Add finishing touches with drizzled chocolate or strawberry sauce, and fresh fruits or colorful sprinkles on top.
