Eggless Neapolitan Cupcake

Neapolitan cake is always made by vanilla, chocolate and strawberry cake, yes this cake goes for three layers of cake with different flavour. Neapolitan cake goes for a long process since it goes for three layers of chocolate,vanilla and strawberry cakes, the best alternative for making this delicious cake is baking them as cupcakes. For our this month's Home Baker's Challenge, a monthly baking event where we bake varieties of baked goodies, the host of this month is Siri of The Brave Cook. She suggested 5 different baked goodies, one among her choice is Neapolitan cake or neapolitan cupcakes. I immediately chosed cupcakes instead of cake as i dont want to spend more time in baking three layers of cakes.Sending Bake Fest#29 event by Vardhini,hosted by me.

This cupcakes are eggless, butterfree but not vegan which i simply prepared by preparing a cake batter which i divided into three equal portions. I used strawberry jam for strawberry flavoured batter, cocoa powder for chocolate batter and vanilla extract for the vanilla flavoured batter. These eggless cupcakes turned out extremely spongy,a prefect evening snacks to enjoy with your favourite drink. Thanks to Siri for pulling me to make this eggless beauties.Am running blogging marathon this week and my theme of this week is chocolates, since this cupcakes suits prefectly for the theme, am posting these cuties today.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#38 .
