Neapolitan Cupcakes are inspired from the classic Italian Neapolitan Icecream which has three different flavours of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry in one. The idea was to get all three flavours in one cupcake and hence the name Neapolitan cupcakes.
It’s the third week of ABC bake around the world and my theme this week is Cupcakes and Muffins. Before I planned to make puddings and had also made a list but as I am baking every day I thought it would be impossible to eat the puddings for a week. However, cupcake and muffins could be finished easily as both of my girls loves them.
It took me very long to finalise the dish and by the time I finished baking it was 7:00 in the evening. But thankfully the daylight is coming up to 9 ish or 10 pm I could click the pictures today itself. I used strawberry cream cheese frosting and it paired well with the chocolate vanilla flavours. My girls went crazy for these cupcakes and finished four of them at once.
