    List of Ingredients


    • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    • 3 tablespoons baking cocoa
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Frosting:
    • 1 1/3 cups confectioners' sugar
    • 2 tablespoons baking cocoa
    • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
    • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
    • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Decorator icing and confetti candies


    Instructions


    1. In a mixing bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Add water, oil, vinegar and vanilla. Pour into a greased and floured 8 inch square baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
    2. In a mixing bowl, beat confectioners� sugar, cocoa, milk, butter and vanilla until smooth; set aside. Transfer cake to a work surface. Using a 3 to 3 1/2 inch heart shaped cookie cutter, gently cut out four heart shaped cakes (set cake trimmings aside for another use).
    3. Place one heart on a serving plate; spread with some frosting. Top with a second cake; frost top and sides. Repeat with remaining cakes and frosting. Decorate with icing and candies.
    4. Yield: 2 servings
