What You’ll Need
- For the Cupcakes
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup of buttermilk
- ½ cup of vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- For the Neapolitan Frosting
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups of confectioner’s sugar
- 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup of whole milk
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam
Let’s Bake!
- Follow the instructions on the cake mix boxes to prepare the chocolate and vanilla batter.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and set up your cupcake liner in a baking tray.
- Pour in the chocolate and vanilla batters alternatively in the cupcake liners.
- Bake for about 18 to 22 minutes. Use a toothpick to check whether the cupcakes are ready (it should come out clean).
- Cool the cupcakes completely before frosting them.
- For the frosting, beat the butter until it’s fluffy, then gradually add in the sugar. Divide this mixture into three parts. Add vanilla to one part, cocoa powder to the second, and jam to the third.
- Fill three piping bags with each of these frostings. Join these bags
into another larger piping bag with a star nozzle, ensuring all three piping bags’ nozzles meet at the star nozzle. - Pipe the frosting over the cupcakes, creating a beautiful tri-colour swirl.
- Enjoy your Neapolitan Ice Cream Cupcakes!
