Ingredients

Cake Batter

  • 2 ½ cups cake flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup red food coloring
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp white vinegar

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 500 g cream cheese room temperature
  • 3 cups unsalted butter room temperature
  • 5 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Festive sprinkles

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, salt and cocoa powder in a bowl. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and oil with an electric mixer. Add the eggs, food coloring and vanilla extract and mix well. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with the buttermilk.
  • In a small bowl, combine the baking soda and vinegar. Add this to the batter and mix to combine.
  • Grease and flour the cake pans and divide the batter between the pans. Bake at 350F for 40-50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar one cup at a time, beating with each addition.
  • Spread the cream cheese frosting into the heart portions of the cakes, then stack them together as shown in the video. Transfer the cake to a cake stand and coat the entire surface in a thin layer of frosting. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Coat the entire cake in a generous layer of frosting. Press the sprinkles halfway up the sides of the cake. Slice to reveal the heart inside and enjoy!
