Neapolitan Bundt Cake Recipe

This recipe is a great concept, but going into it, I knew there would definitely be a lack of defined flavor, so I decided to change it at the get go. It turned out wonderful and my family loved it. I did use the strawberry flavoring, but I used about 1/2 tsp more. I then added an 1/8 cup of strawberry jam. (Next time I'll use a little more because my family LOVED the small strawberry pieces in the cake.) The chocolate cake batter DEFINITELY lacked chocolate flavor, so I added an 1/8 cup of Dutch cocoa and 6 tablespoons of melted bittersweet chocolate. (You could probably use semi-sweet.) I was NOT pleased with the taste of the frosting...it tasted more like confectioners sugar instead of chocolate. So, I added cocoa powder, a little melted bittersweet chocolate, 1/2 tsp of vanilla and enough milk to make it "drizzable." Turned out deliciously. Upon cutting the cake, we found perfectly marbled layers and will definitely make this cake again AND serve it with neapolitan ice cream!!

Turned out great!.. I used one half package cherry jello for flavoring in strawberry layer. I used cocoa... about one fourth cup for chocolate flavoring in choc. layer. I added one half cup sour cream to batter and one half pkg. instant vanilla pudding to batter. I also baked this in a angel food cake pan. Just be careful as you spoon one layer on top of another carefully. I used a homemade vanilla frosting on cake. It was delicious. I have also used this recipe for cupcakes.........so cute!

I made this today and so pleased with the results. I used a Pilsbury white cake mix. I was a little concerned as some of the other reviews stated the cake was rather bland so I did make a few changes. To the white batter I added 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla extract. I replaced the strawberry extract with 2 teaspoons of Maraschino cherry juice. To the chocolate batter I added 1 tablespoon of Cocoa powder and 1/4 cup of mini choc chips. I did not use the frosting but drizzled teh cake with Wilton's Milk Choc/White Choc and pink candy coating.

I used 3 Tbsp Hersey's baking powder for the chocolate part and mixed 1/8 cup Le Sirop de Monin strawberry syrup with 1/8 cup homemade strawberry jam for the strawberry part. It was amazing!

Let me start out by saying not usually a fan of box cake mix. Rating this after my second attempt. I just liked the neopolitan idea because I love neopolitan ice cream. In addition to choc. syrup added 2Tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder and used about 2 tsp. strawberry extract. The batter makes about 4 cups, divided into 3 equal amounts, and layered in bundt pan. It was moist and flavorful. Did not have that box cake artificial taste. Topped with vanilla glaze and chocolate glaze.

So fresh and flavorful — loved it.

Wow! My neighbor just had a baby and I wanted to make something special for the visiting family and friends. This cake was a huge hit! The only two things I did differently were add a chocolate glaze, as well as a vanilla glaze (1/2 white, 1/2 pink) for presentation, and I couldn't find strawberry extract, so I ended up using a strawberry cake mix, too, and used 1/4 of that in the cake. Definitely a keeper!

This was delicious. I too had a difficult time finding strawberry extract, so I too used strawberry syrup. I was worried using the syrup would cause the cake to taste too artificial, but it didn't. To the chocolate portion, I added real cocoa to help get that real chocolate flavor. I made a strawberry glaze using powdered sugar, soft butter, strawberry syrup, and a little water. It was delicious. I filled the center of the finished cake with sliced sugared strawberries, and I served it with chocolate and vanilla gelato. Everyone raved about this cake.

I have made this several times,and love the concept. I use Raspberry extract, about 1 3/4 tsp, and also add more chocolate syrup and dark cocoa powder. I top it with Chocolate ganache, yummy!

Fun recipe! My layers stayed pretty intact - I poured the chocolate and strawberry batters over a spoon - so they wouldn't drop through the white batter. I used 1.5 tsp of strawberry extract and I also added 1 tbsp of chocolate malted milk powder to the chocolate mixture. Thanks a bunch!!! - will serve warm with neopolitan ice cream!!!!!!!

Made this delightful cake for Valentine's Day 2012. I used a yellow Betty Crocker cake mix and even though the recipe did not require, I added 1 pkg. of instant french vanilla pudding, 1 t. of pure vanilla extract and 1 cup of sour cream. I substituted 1 cup of milk for the water and used 1 teaspoon of raspberry extract instead of strawberry. Excellent moist bundt cake - it is a keeper!

This is a very creative recipe. I had so much fun with this recipe but instead of boxed cake mix I made the cake from scratch. I couldn't find strawberry extract in the store so thanks to other reviews I used strawberry syrup. My cake came out swirled with the flavors and I'm totally happy with that. Awesome recipe, thank you so much.

Looked pretty but tasted exactly like what it is, a cake made from boxed cake mix.

This turned out perfect for me!!!! I was so impressed. I will definitely make his again!

Made this cake for my daughter's school party. Could not find strawberry extract at my grocery store, so substituted strawberry syrup -- probably not a great idea, as the layers did not stay separate and the overall cake was more crumbly than I wanted. That said, it still looked pretty as a white/brown/pink marble cake, and it tasted great. I think i'd also skip the chocolate glaze as it seemed unnecessary.

Made cupcakes instead and used a members trick to pipe batter in with zippie bag. And chose another frosting and no extract. Used a beet juice reduction for some color and melted chocolate chips in cake batter. Such a great idea.

This produced a super moist cake that my family loved. I agree with others that the individual flavors could be stronger, I will definitely make again using extra strawberry extract and chocolate!

Perfectly, cute cake! I couldn't find strawberry extract so I used strawberry syrup for milk. I also used cocoa powder and chocolate syrup. All three flavors came through great. Thanks for sharing!

What a fun cake! I took suggestion from other reviewers and used strawberry syrup and it lent just enough flavor. I didn't use the glaze, but used another glaze recipe from this site and the results were quite good. The kids really enjoyed it. Thanks
