If you want to make others happy, you can simply bake something.
Would you like something sweet for Valentine's Day?
Then a cake with a heart in the middle is a nice surprise.
All you need is a simple basic dough - which you ultimately separate into a light and a colored part.
Only when you divide the cake into pieces does the baked heart appear.

Cake with a heart in the middle - simple recipe idea
Hna.de
reported on the right recipe idea for such a heart cake.
You will need a rectangular baking pan and a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
And also the following ingredients for the pink dough, which comes first:
300g flour
2 teaspoons of baking soda
200g sugar
2 tsp vanilla sugar
4 eggs
200 g soft butter
100 ml milk
red food coloring
For the pink dough, beat the butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until creamy and add the eggs.
Stir in the flour and milk mixed with the baking powder alternately in portions and add the food coloring at the end.
Now put everything in the baking pan and let the dough bake at 180 degrees for about 50 minutes.
“Then let the cake cool and cut out the hearts with a cookie cutter,” says the instructions on
hna.de.
You will need the same ingredients for the (now light) dough again - just without the food coloring.
Also use the same quantities, i.e.:
300g flour
2 teaspoons of baking soda
200g sugar
2 tsp vanilla sugar
4 eggs
200 g soft butter
100 ml milk
And stir everything together accordingly to form a light dough.
Now you can
according to
hna.de
Pour a third of this dough into the baking pan - and place the cut-out pink hearts on top.
Then add the remaining light dough and let the cake bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 50 minutes.
