<\/a>First, they’re heart shaped which automatically makes them adorable, second they are made up of an incredible chocolate cake that is this<\/em> close to being a brownie, and third they have my most favorite whipped frosting in the middle which, bonus! I added food coloring to, to make it pink, and pink is always a good idea \ud83d\ude42 This is another recipe I saw on The Pioneer Woman<\/em>, and dang, she has some super great recipes doesn’t she? Ree called these little guys chocolate devils, which definitely caught my attention and I have thought for months how super amazing these would be as heart shaped cakes for Valentine’s Day. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>Also, side note, this is totally the last post for Valentine’s Day for this year I promise \ud83d\ude42 Anyways, these little cakes are moist but wonderfully dense and milk chocolatey, and the fluffiest lightest most delicious frosting ever in the middle. Which, if you want step by step pics of how to make the frosting (minus the cocoa powder) go here<\/a> . I made two separate batches of the cake in slightly different sized sheet pans, the first one was a little bit more narrow which made the cake much thicker and the second I initially thought was going to be too thin but they were perfect. The first batch made the cakes thick enough that I didn’t even make sandwiches out of them and just piped that gorgeous frosting on top. I also used a range of sizes of biscuit cutters to make some of the cutest littlest cakes ever, all the way to some big honking sized ones. No matter the size they were all so delicious and amazing and would make just the perfect homemade Valentine’s gifts. Happy Valentine’s Day y’all!!
