Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-x-5-inch or a 8.5-x-4.5-x-2.5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the cake mix, egg whites, oil and 1 cup water in a bowl using an electric mixer, mixing until smooth. Divide the batter evenly among 3 bowls. Leave the first bowl plain. To the second bowl, add the cocoa powder and mix well. To the third bowl, add the freeze-dried strawberries and food coloring to achieve your desired color.
- Using an ice cream scoop, place 2 scoops of chocolate mix into the loaf pan in different areas. Follow with 2 scoops of strawberry mix and 2 scoops of vanilla. Repeat until all the batter is used and the cake has a marbled appearance. Place in the oven and bake until a tester comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
- While the cake bakes, make the ganache. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over a low heat until just simmering. Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl, then pour the cream over the chips and let sit for 1 minute. Whisk until smooth.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a wire rack (not inverted) and let cool.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to come together more smoothly and evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined. This is especially important for sheet cake.
- Use a 9x13 inch baking pan: This is the standard size for sheet cake, and it will ensure that the cake is cooked evenly.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake to rise evenly and prevent it from sinking.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from melting.
- Use a simple frosting: A simple frosting, such as a chocolate ganache or a whipped cream frosting, will complement the Neapolitan cake without overpowering it.
- Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for Neapolitan cake include chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or fresh fruit.
