How to Make Neapolitan Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine 1 (15.25 ounce) box of white cake mix and 1 (8 ounce) container of whipped topping mix.
  4. Gradually add the cream cheese mixture and 1 cup of milk to the dry ingredients, alternating between the two and beating well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls.
  7. In one bowl, stir in 1 (3 ounce) package of strawberry flavored drink mix.
  8. In another bowl, stir in 1 (3 ounce) package of chocolate flavored drink mix.
  9. Layer the strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate batters in the prepared pan.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. While the cake is baking, prepare the butter glaze:
  12. In a medium bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) of softened margarine and 2 cups of powdered sugar until smooth.
  13. Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of milk, mixing until you reach your desired consistency.
  14. Once the cake is baked, let it cool slightly before pouring the glaze over the top.
  15. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving and enjoy!
