Who else loves Neapolitan? The delicious combination of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry takes me back to my childhood where every party served that incredible concoction with a big slice of birthday cake. It was heaven for me. A few weeks ago I was feeling particularly nostalgic and decided to whip up a Neapolitan treat for my kids dessert. Instead of taking the traditional route of Neapolitan ice cream, I decided to take it to the next level and create a delicious cupcake inspired by my favorite ice cream flavor. That’s how the super yummy Neapolitan cupcake was born.
