Neopolitan Gooey Cake Bars

What a fun week we’ve had. My sister and her family have been visiting and that means I got to steal her cute girls to bake with me! I wanted to create something fun for them and I think we did it. Get a load of my Neopolitan Gooey Cake Bars 🙂

What you are seeing is correct…..a chocolate cake layer, a vanilla cake layer and a strawberry gooey layer. Brace yourself for this one, it is rich and sweet. Definitely grab some milk with these babies.

Hope you enjoy!

Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla cake mixes along with some butter, eggs and sweetened condensed milk. Please note, these are really full sticks of butter. I purchase the full bloc of butter at Costco that I have to cut myself 🙂

How to Make The Best Cake Bars

Start with the chocolate layer. Each cake mix gets a stick of butter and an egg. Mix until a firm dough forms.

I miss these girls already! How cute are they?!

Press that chocolate layer into the bottom of your baking dish.

Time for the vanilla layer with my sweet little niece 🙂

Gently press the vanilla layer over the chocolate layer.

….and last but not least the pretty strawberry layer.

Bring on the gooey-ness. I actually added the entire can of sweetened condensed milk, but would recommend 3/4 cup as I have listed in my recipe. It took a very long time to bake with the entire can. Once drizzled, bake in the oven at 350 degrees F. for 40-50 minutes!

Wait until you cut into them, I love those layers! ….and the bit of toasted gooey-ness from the sweetened milk 🙂
