This sinfully rich heart-shaped cake is a cinch to throw together. Just prepare a standard-size box of cake mix (any flavor) according to the package directions. Spray one Round Cake Pan and Square Baking Pan with nonstick cooking spray, then divide the batter evenly among the cake pans and cook according to the package. Once completely cooled, cut the round cake in half to assemble the heart. Place the two cake halves flush with two adjacent sides of the square cake. Use any canned frosting to “glue” the cake together, then frost the top of cake with remaining frosting. Now comes the fun part: decorating! Here are a few ideas:
Add red or pink food coloring to the cake batter before baking or frost the cake with red or pink-tinted frosting. Then, top with raspberries or sliced strawberries for a sweet garnish.
Impress your sweetheart with candied flowers. Just wash edible flowers in cold water, place on paper towels and air-dry or gently blot dry. Then, brush an egg white lightly onto flower with the Pastry Brush. Sprinkle flowers evenly with sugar and shake gently to remove any excess. Place them on the Stackable Cooling Rack to dry at least 30 minutes, then decorate your cake!
For a truly delicious Valentine’s Day dessert, use red velvet cake mix and frost with canned cream cheese frosting. Once the cake is frosted, sprinkle with heart-shaped sprinkles or red colored sugar.
