Favorite cake for Valentine's Day, decorated with icing sugar hearts
You will probably give the other person the greatest joy when you bake his or her favorite cake.
At the end you can simply decorate it with a few hearts and you're done.
One of the classic cakes is, for example, a chocolate cake, which you can decorate nicely with a little powdered sugar on top using a heart stencil.
Alternatively, you can also cut out a larger heart out of paper, place it in the middle of the cake and dust it all around with powdered sugar.
If you don't have much time, you can easily bake a chocolate cake with just a few ingredients.
You can also simply bake a men's cake (like Grandma's used to make), and here too you typically add a little powdered sugar on top.
If you're baking a chocolate cake, you can quickly conjure up a few hearts on top using a paper template and some powdered sugar.

Heart-shaped butter cookies or Hilda rolls with jam hearts
Almost everyone has cookie cutters at home for baking cookies at Christmas time.
If you have already put them away, take the heart-shaped one out of the drawer for Valentine's Day.

Or, which is a little more complicated, you can bake a few Hilda rolls with a small jam heart in the middle.
