How To Make neapolitan ice cream cake

  • 1
    Make the strawberry cake: Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a (9 inch) square pan with nonstick baking spray with flour. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy, 3-4 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape sides of bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla, beating to combine.

    In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture to butter mixture in thirds, alternating with strawberries, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Add food coloring, one drop at a time, beating to combine until batter reaches desired color. Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool completely on a wire rack.

    Make the Neapolitan ice cream cake: In a 10 inch square spring-form pan, spread approximately 2 cups ice cream to create a 1 inch thick layer. Place strawberry cake on top of ice cream. Spread remaining ice cream over cake to cover top and sides. Freeze overnight. In a large bowl, beat cocoa and corn syrup at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add cream and powdered sugar. Increase speed to high; beat until fluffy, approximately 1 minute, stopping occasionally to scrape sides of bowl. Gently run a knife around edges of pan to loosen; remove sides. Spread chocolate whipped cream over cake. Freeze until firm, approximately 1 hour.
