Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 (16.5 ounce) box Western Family Red Velvet Cake mix
- 3 large Western Family Eggs
- 1 cup Water
- ⅓ cup Western Family Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Western Family Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 (16- ounce) can Western Family Vanilla Frosting
- Fresh Strawberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, follow package directions for cake mix; add in chocolate chips and stir by hand.
- Pour cake mix in a parchment paper lined 16” x 13” x ¾” jelly roll pan. Bake at 350oF for 15 minutes. Cool completely.
- Gently slide cake and parchment paper from the pan onto a flat surface.
- Using a 4“heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out eight heart shapes from cake.
- Place the heart-shaped cakes onto a plate or other flat dish, and put in freezer for 2 hours. Reserve cake scraps in a bowl, covered.
- Remove frozen cakes and frost each with a ¼ “thick spread of frosting.
- Stack two frosted layers onto each other. Hold in fridge for up to three days, or garnish to serve immediately.
- Top each cake with sliced or whole strawberries.
Tips:
- Use a three layer cake for a special cake for two.
- Scoop half the container of Vanilla frosting into a small bowl to keep free of any cake crumbs. Frost cakes, and then finish with reserved frosting using a clean spreader, to create a frosted cake free of cake crumbs.
- Use a variety of decorative toppings, or create different patterns with same topping on each cake to customize.
- Cut or shape reserved cake trimmings into bite sized cubes. Place in individual serving bowls and top with ice cream or whipped cream for an additional dessert.
