Heart Cake

Linda Larsen
This is the cake recipe I made for my mom for Mother's Day when I was 10 years old. It's easy, beautiful, and guaranteed to be a hit. Make sure to look at my Step by Step Heart Cake instructions first!

Prep Time: 35 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pkg. 2 layer cake mix, any flavor
  • 1 envelope Dream Whip dry whipped topping mix
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cans prepared frosting, any flavor
  • Chocolate chips or red hot candies

Preparation:

In large bowl, combine cake mix, whipped topping mix, water, and eggs and beat until blended. Then beat for 4 minutes at medium speed, until batter increases in volume. Pour into greased cake pans, using 1 9" SQUARE pan and 1 9" ROUND cake pan. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Place square cake layer on serving tray, with one point facing toward you. Using some of the frosting, attach each half circle of cake to two adjacent sides of square cake, forming a heart. Finish frosting cake. Spell out "Mother", "Mom", or your mom's name, or a heart shape on the frosting using chocolate chips or red hot candies. 12 servings
