Neapolitan Cake Box Mix Version
There is a lot going on with this cake so I recommend starting out with cake mix. Meaning bake 1 box of white cake in two 8inch round cake pans 1 box of strawberry cake in two 8inch round cake pans then 1 box of chocolate cake in two 8inch round cake pans. You will only need one layer of each 1 white 1 strawberry 1 chocolate so be sure to wrap up the other layers tight and freeze until the next time you want to make this amazing cake!

Neapolitan Cake FromScratch Version
If you happen to want to make this cake from scratch I recommend baking one day then assembling and decorating the next.
I made my perfect chocolate cake a strawberry cake and a white cake in 8in round cake pans.  I added pink food color to my fromscratch strawberry cake to ensure it was a gorgeous shade that matched the buttercream.
Neapolitan Buttercream
I used the basic buttercream recipe below for the white and strawberry layers. Prepare your buttercream as directed and then divide into 2 bowls. One will stay white vanilla and the other will be tinted pink. I also added strawberry extract to the pink buttercream so it would taste like it looks!
For the chocolate I made a 12 batch of my favorite Chocolate Buttercream. You can make a full batch and freeze it with your other chocolate cake layer to save steps for the next time you prepare this cake! When freezing buttercream I place it
