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, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.

      Combine the Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few small lumps are fine.

        Layer the Flavors: Divide the batter evenly into two parts. To one half, add the strawberry jam and gently fold until the color is uniform. Leave the other half as chocolate batter.

          Prepare a Baking Dish: Grease a small rectangular or square dish (about 8x8 inches) with non-stick spray or butter. Pour the chocolate batter first and then spoon dollops of the strawberry batter on top. Use a knife or skewer to swirl them together slightly.

            Microwave Cooking: Place your dish in the microwave and cook for about 2 minutes on high. Check for doneness; the center should be set (time may vary based on microwave wattage). If not done, continue microwaving in 15-second increments.

              Cool & Garnish: Allow the cake to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, cut the cake into small squares or bite-sized pieces. Top each piece with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate and strawberry sprinkles for a delightful finish.

                Serve & Enjoy: Arrange the treats on a serving platter and enjoy your quick Neapolitan bliss bites that celebrate chocolate, strawberry, and cream in every delicious bite!
