Valentines Day treat!

Here's a simple Valentines desert for your sweeties... big and small!

Picture this..
On a pretty plate is a heart shaped piece of chocolate cake topped with sprinkled powdered sugar and a few whole raspberries... but surrounded in a pool of pureed raspberries.

The combination of sweet chocolate cake and tartness of the raspberries is just wonderful!

Here's what to do...
  • Bake a chocolate cake using parchment paper on the bottom of the pan. Let cool.
  • Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the cake.
  • Using various sizes of Heart Shaped cookie cutters, cut out heart shapes and plate the cake for your sweeties.
  • Thaw out some frozen strawberries if you can't find fresh... Save some of the more shapely ones for topping this treat. The others can be pureed in the blender.
  • Pool the pured raspberries around the heart shaped cake on the plate.
  • Top desert with shapely raspberries and ENJOY!


Let me know how you like it! Toni
