Are you looking for a quick, easy and semi-homemade Valentine’s Day cake recipe? A recipe that will blow his mind? Well, great thing you’re here. Because I just made, what I now call, blow his mind chocolate and raspberry heart shape cakes for two. Talk about a mouthful right? This recipes has everything you need to set the mood for a very romantic evening. There’s chocolate. There’s raspberry. And then there’s even more chocolate! It takes 30 minutes to prepare and uses things you most likely have on hand. So let’s get to knocking his socks off — shall we?!?!
For cakes, you will need:
* package of chocolate cake mix
* (2) 16 x 9 pans
* 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon of vanilla
* 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
* 1 large Hershey chocolate bar
* large heart shaped cookie cutters
Prepare cake mix as directed on the box. Add in the cinnamon, vanilla, and vinegar. Break your chocolate bar in half. Crumble pieces of 1/2 the bar into the batter. Stir well and divide batter evenly between the two baking pans.
Bake as directed.
For frosting, you will need:
* tub of vanilla frosting
* teaspoon of raspberry extract
* tablespoon of raspberry preserves or fruit spread
* Hershey kisses (optional)
* Whipped cream (optinal)
Combine ingredients well and place into a Ziploc bag. We will use this as a piping bag to frost our masterpieces shortly.
Once the cakes are cool…
Once the cakes are done and cooled, use a heart shape shaped cookie cutter to create heart-shaped pieces of cake. Add the heart cakes to your serving platter a layer at a time. Generously add raspberry frosting, smooth, then top with another heart layer.
Pipe a swirl of the delicious raspberry frosting on the top of each cake. Then top with a Hershey’s kiss.
Piping I ♥ U!
Warm the remaining chocolate from our large Hershey’s chocolate bar in the microwave with a tablespoon of milk or cream. Using a piping bag or a plastic condiment bottle, pipe I ♥ U on your server plate. Drizzle remaining chocolate over heart-shaped cakes. For something a little extra special, serve with chilled whipped cream.
