NEAPOLITAN CAKE

Vanilla, strawberry and chocolate, all in one cake! It's not easy to find a good recipe for this cake, so I have come up with a simple and delicious recipe consisting of only one batter. Every layer of this cake is full of flaver, fluffy and moist. Top this cake with a cream cheese frosting and you will create one of the most amazing cakes! :)

Ingredients :

• 4 eggs
• 200 g sugar
• 200 g cake flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 120 g soft butter
• 100 ml milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

+ For the chocolate cake :

• 1 tbsp cocoa powder

+ For the strawberry cake :

• 40 g strawberry flavoured gelatin (or a tsp of strawberry extract)

Beat the butter on high speed for 3 minutes. Start adding sugar and salt and beat for another few minutes. Start adding one egg at a time, beating in between. Add the milk mixed with vanilla extract in a slow stream. Sieve in the flour with baking powder and baking soda and mix till well combined. Devide the batter in three equal parts. Mix one part of the batter with cocoa powder and one part with strawberry gelatin.

Bake every layer in a 20 cm baking pan at 180°C (350°F) for 15 - 20 minutes.

Ingredients for cream cheese icing :

• 200 g cream cheese
• 100 g soft butter
• 400 g icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp cocoa powder (optional)
• pink food dye (optional)

Beat the butter for 5 minutes on high speed. Add the cream cheese and vanilla extract and mix till well combined. Sieve in the icing sugar in three parts, mixing well in between. Devide the icing in three equal parts and mix one of the parts with cocoa powder and one with pink food dye (this is optional). Decorate the cake when it is completly cooled.

Melted dark chocolate on top will make a perfect decoration for this cake. Enjoy! :)
