How to Make Rice Krispie Neapolitan Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 6-inch round cake pans.
  2. Line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper; grease and flour the parchment.
  3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and marshmallows in 30 second intervals, stirring until completely smooth.
  4. Divide the melted marshmallow mixture into three large bowls.
  5. To the first bowl, add 2 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Stir to combine.
  6. To the second bowl, add 1 (3 oz) package of strawberry Jell-O powder and 2 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well combined.
  7. To the third bowl, add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well combined.
  8. Divide each mixture evenly among the prepared cake pans and press down firmly to create even layers.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.
  10. Once set, frost the chocolate layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread half of the buttercream frosting evenly on top.
  11. Place the vanilla layer on top of the frosting. Frost with the remaining buttercream.
  12. Top with the strawberry layer.
  13. In a medium bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30 second increments.
  14. Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Slowly whisk the hot cream into the melted chocolate until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly.
  15. Drizzle the ganache over the edges of the cake, then spread the remaining ganache over the top of the cake using an offset spatula for a smooth finish.
  16. Sprinkle 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles over the top.
  17. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, place an ice cream cone on top, and add a maraschino cherry.
  18. Sprinkle the remaining sprinkles around the base of the ice cream cone and cherry.
