Ingredients You'll Need
For the cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
For the frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven and prepare your pans
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch heart-shaped cake pans with shortening and flour. Alternatively, you can line the pans with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. Mix dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Using a whisk, mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Add wet ingredients
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
5. Add boiling water
Carefully pour in the boiling water and mix until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
6. Bake the cakes
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7. Make the frosting
While the cakes are cooling, make the frosting by creaming together the butter, confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Gradually add in the heavy cream until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
8. Assemble the cake
Once the cakes have cooled, place one cake on a serving platter and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
9. Decorate and serve
Get creative with your decorations by adding chocolate shavings, sprinkles, fresh fruit, or anything else you desire. Serve and enjoy your delicious and beautiful chocolate valentine heart cake with your loved one!
Now that you have the perfect recipe for a chocolate valentine heart cake, surprise your significant other with this sweet and thoughtful gesture. Get your ingredients ready and start baking for a memorable Valentine's Day celebration!
