How to Make Neapolitan Refrigerator Sheet Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly into three separate bowls.
  7. Stir the cocoa powder into one bowl, the strawberry puree into another, and leave one bowl plain for the vanilla layer.
  8. Spread each batter evenly into the prepared pan, creating three distinct layers.
  9. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  11. Once cool, frost with your favorite frosting or a simple powdered sugar glaze. Enjoy!
