- 1 drop food gel coloring if you don't use an already colored mix
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep a loaf pan with baking spray.
- I use colored cake mix for the inside shape part. Bake accordingly in 9x5" loaf pan until top springs back. Cool. With the cookie cutter in hand measure for the width of each slice. Cut each slice about 1" thick. Using the cookie cutter, cut out the hearts or another shape. Set aside.
- For the vanilla cake or outer layer cake you can use boxed cake mix or homemade vanilla cake below. Make your batter
- Take your cut outs and line them up so they are next to one another in the middle of your 9x5 sprayed loaf pan, then pour the white cake batter on both sides of shapes and in between the hearts you have in the loaf pan. Bake at 350 for about an hour or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan, remove, slice and enjoy
