Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Red food coloring
• 1 cup Cream cheese
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Whipped cream
• 0.5 cup Fresh berries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 6-inch heart-shaped cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
4. Divide the batter evenly into three bowls. Add red food coloring to one bowl and mix well to create a vibrant red batter.
5. Pour the batters into the prepared cake pans, spreading them evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread the cream cheese frosting between the cake layers.
8. Decorate the top of the cake with whipped cream and fresh berries. Serve and enjoy!
