We've just had a lovely long weekend here but I have to admit it has messed me up a bit. With 2 short weeks in a row I never seem to know what day it is anymore! Luckily I remembered it was Tuesday today and that means it's TWD time.This week Carol from The Bake More chose Dorie's Basic Marbled Loaf Cake. Rather than use the playing around suggestions I decided to take a trip down memory lane and make a neapolitan cake. These were everywhere when I was a child and mimic the colours of neapolitan icecream which had chocolate, strawberry and vanilla flavours side by side. In my house the vanilla always got left till last!
I split my batter into 3 lots keeping one plain, adding melted chocolate to the second and healthy dose of pink food colouring to the third. I have to admit I was pretty pleased with the result as my cake was not only pretty but moist and yummy.
We've had a fair bit of cake around here recently because of Oscar's birthday and he's taken to asking for 'more birthday' (meaing cake). Very cute!
Thanks to Carol for a great pick! You can find the recipe on her blog under today's date.
What a beautiful cake! The chocolate always went first in the Neapolitan ice cream!
ReplyDeleteNeopolitan looks great! I was looking for birthday cake recipes the other day and my husband wanted me to make a neopolitan one, but I didn't have enough cake pans. This solves that!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And nice job on the marbling, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the Neopolitan idea - I know my kids would love that.
ReplyDeletelooks yummy and pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove your tri-color cake. Neapolitan brings back memories for me too. Remember those Neapolitan coconut bars? Yum. Thanks for baking with me this week. --- Carol

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Neapolitan Cake. Was The Hubs fav ice cream so I know he would love this.
ReplyDeleteThe colors of this marble loaf are so fun and playful and I'm bookmarking this for future reference -- I love inspiration for baking for the recipe club I belong. This is just the recipe to kick me into baking gear.
