Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup strawberry jam

1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

Chocolate sprinkles or shavings (for topping)

Fresh strawberries (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a small 8x8 inch baking pan or lining it with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to ensure there are no lumps. Stir in the granulated sugar until combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to keep your cake fluffy.

          Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out with a spatula. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

            Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice the cake into small squares or bite-sized pieces.

              Layering the Treats: To assemble, take one piece of cake and spread a thin layer of strawberry jam on top, followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Place another piece of cake on top to create layers. Repeat for as many layers as you prefer.

                Decorate: Finish by sprinkling the tops with chocolate sprinkles or shavings and garnishing with a fresh strawberry.

                  Serve: These delightful Neapolitan Cake Treats are now ready to be enjoyed!
