Time 1h25m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box (21 oz) Immaculate Baking Co.™ Chocolate Cake Scratch Mix
1 1/4 cups Milk
4 Eggs
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) Butter, Melted
1 cup Fresh Strawberries, stems and leaves removed
2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, softened
4 cups Powdered Sugar
1 tablespoon Milk
1 tablespoon Vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F for shiny metal pan or 325°F for dark, nonstick or glass pan. Grease and flour bottoms and sides of 2 heart-shaped pans (or two 9-inch round cake pans or three 8-inch round cake pans).

Bring mixture to simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, 10 to 15 minutes until mixture reduces to about 1/4 to ? cup. Cool completely to room temperature.
  • In large bowl or bowl of stand mixer, beat butter and strawberry mixture 1 to 2 minutes on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in powdered sugar on medium speed 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition until mixture is smooth. Add milk and vanilla; stir to combine. Increase speed to high and beat 1 minute more until frosting is creamy and fluffy.
  • Place 1 cake layer on serving plate. Frost top with generous amount of frosting. Top with remaining cake layer; frost top and sides with remaining frosting. Decorate with chocolate-covered strawberries, if desired. Store leftovers tightly covered in refrigerator up to 3 days.
  • *To make chocolate-covered strawberries, melt 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Dip strawberries halfway into chocolate mixture, then transfer to wax paper or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Chill in refrigerator 30 minutes to set.

HEART SHAPED CHOCOLATE & CHERRIES & CREAM CAKE



Heart Shaped Chocolate & Cherries & Cream Cake image

Every year I pick a cake to make for Valentine's Day, this one is from Taste Of Home and is beautiful. Cake is baked in two 9 inch heart shaped pans, I found them in regular pans and disposable tin pans. My cake took longer to cook about 30 minutes. Also this is a very sweet cake. I used two cans of cherry pie filling (not all of both) and for the topping on top I tried to just get the cherries with just a little of the juice.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. A good rule of thumb is to mix until the ingredients are just combined.
  • Use a light hand when folding in the egg whites. This will help keep the batter light and fluffy.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cake, as this can result in a dry cake. A good way to check if the cake is done is to insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought cake mix to make this cake. Just be sure to follow the package directions for baking times and temperatures.

Conclusion:

This chocolate heart cake is a delicious and festive dessert that's perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to show your loved ones how much you care. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this chocolate heart cake a try.
