Recipe Introduction


My granddaughter was born on Valentine’s Day, so every year I bake up this special strawberry heart-shaped cake for her.
cakemix - Strawberry Heart Cake

1, 18 1/4 ounce packaged white cake mix
1, 3 ounce package strawberry gelatin
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1, 10 ounce package frozen sweetened strawberries, thawed
cold water

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
5 to 5-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Red-hot candies, optional

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch square, and an 8 inch round baking pan with waxed paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine cake mix, gelatin and flour. Beat in oil and eggs. Drain strawberries, setting aside 1/2 cup for the frosting, and measuring the rest with water to make 1/2 cup liquid. Add berries and water to batter; mix well. Divide batter between Bake square pan for 30-35 minutes and the round pan for 35-40 minutes, or until cake tests done. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

In a small mixing bowl, combine butter and reserved syrup. Gradually add sugar; beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Place square cake diagonally on a 20-in. x 15-in. covered board. Cut round cake in half. Frost cut sides; place frosted sides against the top two sides of square cake, forming a heart. frost sides and top of cake. Decorate with red-hots if desired.
Makes 12-16 servings.
