Heart Shaped Chocolate Cake With Marbled Chocolate Lid

Heart Shaped Chocolate Cake With Marbled Chocolate Lid.

This is my most favorite Valentine’s cake that I make every year. There is a really long involved recipe which you can find Here but I shortened up a few things to make it a little easier.
I use a yellow cake mix and added some semi sweet and white chocolate melted to the batter to make it richer.
I do bake it in a heart shaped bottomless cake pan with aluminum foil pressed all around it to hold the batter in as it says in original recipe.
I make a delicious buttercream frosting and add chocolate to it.
To make the marbled chocolate heart lid: Go Here
I replaced alcohol with Orange Juice.
It is soooo delicious and my family looks forward to it every year.
Are you making anything special for Valentines day?

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
