The Ultimate Neapolitan Bundt Cake

A stunning and moist neapolitan bundt cake featuring distinct layers of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry flavors. Perfect for any celebration.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4 cup strawberry puree (reduced from 1 cup of strawberries)
1 drop pink food coloring (optional)
2 tablespoons milk (for the chocolate layer)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 10-inch bundt pan with baking spray or a butter-flour paste.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 5: Divide the batter into three equal portions (approximately 2 cups each).
Step 6: Leave the first portion as vanilla. To the second portion, fold in the strawberry puree and optional food coloring. To the third portion, whisk in the cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of milk.
Step 7: Spoon the chocolate batter into the bottom of the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Carefully spoon the vanilla batter over the chocolate, followed by the strawberry batter.
Step 8: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9: Allow the neapolitan bundt cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture. Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added.
