How to Make Fun Neapolitan Birthday Cake

  1. Prepare one box of chocolate cake mix according to package directions, yielding half a recipe.
  2. Prepare one box of vanilla cake mix according to package directions, yielding half a recipe.
  3. Prepare one box of strawberry cake mix according to package directions, yielding half a recipe.
  4. Divide each batter evenly between three greased and floured 9-inch round baking pans. You will have one pan with chocolate batter, one with vanilla, and one with strawberry.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Check each pan individually as baking times may vary slightly)
  6. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, frost each cake layer with a generous amount of white whipped frosting.
  8. Stack the cake layers, chocolate on the bottom, vanilla in the middle, and strawberry on top.
  9. Frost the entire cake with remaining frosting, decorating as desired. Add sprinkles, fresh berries, or chocolate shavings for an extra special touch!
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
