Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup strawberry jam or puree

1/2 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

Chocolate and strawberry sprinkles for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to blend the dry ingredients until they are evenly mixed.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the whole milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

      Combine the Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. It’s perfectly fine to have a few small lumps in the batter.

        Layer the Flavors: Divide the batter equally into two portions. To one portion, add the strawberry jam and gently fold it in until the batter takes on a consistent pink hue. The second portion will remain chocolate-flavored.

          Prepare a Baking Dish: Lightly grease a small rectangular or square baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with non-stick spray or butter. Start by pouring the chocolate batter into the dish. Then, spoon dollops of the strawberry batter over the chocolate layer. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the two batters together for a marbled effect.

            Microwave Cooking: Place the baking dish in the microwave and cook on high for about 2 minutes. After that time, check for doneness; the center should be set and not jiggly (cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage). If it’s not yet done, continue microwaving in 15-second increments until fully cooked.

              Cool & Garnish: Once cooked, allow the cake to cool for a few minutes at room temperature. When it’s cool enough to handle, cut the cake into small squares or bite-sized treats. Top each piece with a generous dollop of whipped cream, and finish with a sprinkle of chocolate and strawberry sprinkles for a festive touch.

                Serve & Enjoy: Arrange the Neapolitan bliss bites on a colorful serving platter for an eye-catching presentation. Enjoy these delightful treats that celebrate the delicious trio of chocolate, strawberry, and cream in every delectable bite!
