Valentine's Day Cake

So, I made my mom's famous Valentine's Cake this year for the family:




Yummy!

Here's how you can do it, too.

You're going to need:
  • 1 chocolate cake box mix (and the ingredients the cake box calls for)
  • 1 - 8" square cake pan
  • 1 - 8" round cake pan
  • 1 can cherry pie filling
  • 1 recipe whippy creamy icing
  • Pastry bag and piping tips
A nice plate to put your finished cake on


Prepare the cake mix following the directions on the box. Pour into the square and round cake pans to an even level. Bake according to instructions (you may need to improvise a little since the cake box is unlikely to have instructions for 8" pans). After baking, remove from pans as instructed on box and cool on wire racks.


While cakes are baking, make the whippy creamy icing.

Put the square cake on your plate. Cut the round cake in half and put each half on adjacent sides of the square to make the heart shape.

Ice the cake. Pipe on some nice decorations, making sure to have a high lip at the edge to keep the cherries on.

Refrigerate so that the icing sets.

Spoon cherry pie filling onto top of cake.

And there you have it! Enjoy...
