Hey, Anybody and Everybody!

My son is requesting Neopolitan Cake for his birthday in two days and it has been a while since I've made one. I used to use the strawberry swirl cake mix but can't find that one anymore. I was wondering if anyone could offer advice on add-ins to white cake mix. I have some thoughts on it, but really don't have the time for my trial and error!
Thanks bunches!

I think I'm too late for the birthday! Sorry.

This is MY version of an old Pillsbury Bake Off recipe - from, I think, 1970 or 1971. The original recipe called for white cake mix, quick strawberry milk favoring mix and quick chocolate milk flavoring mix and a couple other things. So I think I have more then enough changes to post here!

NEOPOLITIAN POUND CAKE

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened (I usually use neufanchel - spelling?)
4 eggs
1 pkg (2 layer) chocolate marble cake mix (or fudge marble)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup strawberry preserves
small amount of red food paste, if desired
1 teaspoon vanilla

Generously grease and lightly flour 10-inch bundt or tube pan. In large mixer bowl combine cream cheese and eggs; beat until smooth. Add dry cake mix and water. Blend until moistened; beat as directed on package. Divide mixture into three (3) portions.

Add strawberry preserves and a dab of food coloring (if desired) to one portion of batter; mix and then pour into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Add vanilla to second portion of batter and stir to mix. Pour/spoon evenly over strawberry layer. Add chocolate packet (from cake mix) to third portion of batter and stir to mix well. Spoon/pour over vanilla layer.

Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven about 45 to 55 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool upright in pan, on rack, for 15 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely.

Glaze or frost as desired. I like to make just a simple powdered sugar glaze - and then decorate with one or both of the other flavors. Or a chocolate glaze and then almonds.

My daughter-in-law and I have found that when you put the batters in the pan in a different order, you will get an entirely different look! She has used this in cupcakes - but says it takes FOREVER! Spooning them out ! But that the kids (big and little) love them. She has also used a drink mix in strawberry and/or raspberry flavor. I'm not sure what brand she used but they liked it.

This has always (for 30 years) been a big hit at bake sales and to bring to someone.

Hope some of you wil enjoy!

Thanks so much for your replies. What I was looking for was a 3 layer cake with a strawberry layer, a vanilla layer, and a chocolate layer. I ended up using white cake mix and using the recipe in the cake doctor for the butter recipe cake shown on the front. Then I divided it three ways. I added strawberry flavoring and strawberry Nesquik to one, chocolate syrup to another, and left the last one plain. I used 9 inch pans but should have used 8" because they came out kind of flat. But once I frosted it (I used buttercream), it came out pretty well. I will probably try to improve on this to make it come out not so flat but the truth is, everybody really liked it. If anybody comes up with the perfect way to make this 3 layer cake, please let me know.
