It’s got the best fluffy, moist texture and all the flavors. Hopefully I’ve convinced you to make this super delicious Neapolitan Marble Cake! The only thing you’ll need to decide is whether to make it for breakfast, dinner or as a snacking cake. If you want icing but don’t want to cover up all the pretty swirls on top, you can simply drizzle some icing rather than coating the entire top. Top this Neapolitan Marble Cake with icing or leave it plain. The best part though is, of course, eating it! OPTIONAL ICING It’s also fun to cut into the cake to reveal the swirls inside.
Ta-daaaa! It’s pretty too to pull your cake out of the oven and see the pretty designs the cake baked into. Let the cake cool in the pan for about ten minutes and then transfer to a baking rack to cool completely. You’ll want to rotate your pan halfway through baking to ensure even baking. Pop your cake into a 350 degree oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. If you love the look and taste of swirled desserts, definitely try my aptly named Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies or my Tahini Brownies filled with lots of creamy, rich tahini-chocolate swirls! Swirling the flavors together is definitely my favorite part of making this cake. Definitely resist the urge to keep swirling so that the flavors don’t mix together too much. Rotate the pan a quarter turn and, with a clean knife, swirl again. Use a table knife to swirl from side to side down the length of the pan. For the second layer, be sure to drop different color batter on top of the existing colors. You’ll have enough batter to make two layers of the checkerboard pattern. Once you have your three batters, use a tablespoon to drop the batter into a checkerboard patter. Add another drop if you want a deeper color. Start with one or two drops and stir together. If you want more of a pink/classic Neapolitan color, just stir in a few drops of pink or red food coloring to the strawberry batter. I left my strawberry batter natural which gives the cake little hints of pink color and little bits of berries. This cake is called a Neapolitan cake because of the three different flavors. If you’re with me, definitely add my Roasted Strawberry Crumb Bars to your baking list! ADDING FOOD COLORING TO THE STRAWBERRY LAYER Strawberries have to be my favorite fruit to bake with in the summertime. Strawberry jam will give batter a little bit of color and more strawberry sweetness and flavor. Lightly pureed will give you nice little specks of strawberries throughout the cake. Lightly pureed meaning just lightly pulse them in a food processor or blender. Keep one bowl vanilla then add cocoa to one bowl and strawberries to the remaining bowl.įOR THE VANILLA BATTER: Just leave 1/3 of batter as is.įOR THE CHOCOLATE BATTER: To the third portion of batter, you’ll stir in some cocoa powder that’s been mixed with with canola oil.įOR THE STRAWBERRY BATTER: Stir in 1/2 cup lightly pureed strawberries. That batter gets divided into three bowls. Swirls: A simple table knife mixes all three flavors and colors together!Īs mentioned, you only need to make one batter for this cake which is a vanilla cake batter.Strawberry: Fresh strawberries and strawberry jam add some fresh, in season sweetness!.Chocolate: No need to chop chocolate, just mix a bit of cocoa with some oil or melted butter, mix it with the base batter and you have your chocolate swirl.Vanilla: The base of the cake is a delicious vanilla cake batter.
