Inspired by Wayne Thiebaud's painting, this birthday cake features three vibrantly flavored layers—strawberry, cocoa, and plain—reminiscent of Neapolitan ice cream. The cake is easy to make with just one batter that is divided for flavoring. After baking, a quick frosting made with butter, sour cream, and powdered sugar is used to envelop the colorful layers. Making the cake ahead of time is recommended for moisture retention, as the oil in the recipe keeps the layers plush, ensuring it is a delightful centerpiece for any celebration.
This tricolor beauty inspired by Wayne Thiebaud's iconic painting is a guaranteed showstopper for any birthday, made of three distinct flavored layers.
The preparation is surprisingly simple: one cake batter is divided into three bowls, with added flavorings and optional colors, then mixed together.
A quick frosting of butter, sour cream, and powdered sugar coats the colorful layers, masking the delightful multicolored surprise within.
Baking the layers a day ahead ensures the cake remains plush and moist, making it perfect for celebrations.
